The three opposition parliamentary factions: Liberal Party of Moldova (PL), Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova (PLDM) and ‘Our Moldova Alliance’ (AMN) addressed a demarche to the European Commission for Democracy through law of the Council of Europe (Venice Commission) in which they ask for a decision regarding the fact that Vladimir Voronin holds two positions in the same time – president and speaker. <\/p>\n

Voronin is simultaneously head of the Parliament and head of state. <\/p>\n

‘We ask the Commission to say its opinion from the juridical point of view, regarding the juridical-political situation created in the Republic of Moldova. After the validation of the mandate of Member of Parliament, the current president of the Republic of Moldova has two functions. This fact is in contradiction with article 81 from Republic of Moldova Constitution (Incompatibilities and Immunities)’, the demarche states. <\/p>\n

The parliamentary opposition refers to article 80 (Duration of mandate) from Moldova Constitution, according to which ‘Republic of Moldova president executes the mandate till the new elected President swears his oath’. This provision is applied when there is no compatibility between the parties. <\/p>\n

The Constitutional Court (CC) has recently taken a decision about this subject by means of a reply offered to the Liberal Party (PL) of Moldova. Through this reply, it was clear that the functions owned by Voronin are incompatible. Despite that, the CC refused to examine an announcement in this context submitted by PLDM.
