Between 7th and 9th of June, the Constitutional Court declared unconstitutional the election of the Moldovan Parliament’s leadership and the vote of the new Government, and later instituted the interim presidential post, after having previously decided that the deadline for voting a new government was June 7, 2019, not June 9, as previously, publicly mentioned.<\/p>\n

The decisions coincided with the position of the Democratic Party of Moldova (DPM), which declared the votes in the Parliament as unlawful (votes through which the speaker was elected and the Sandu Government was established), and therefore called for the early elections. However, the “synchronization” between DPM and the CC is not a coincidence. Out of the six judges of the High Court, three of them were former DPM deputies, and two of them were included in the CC in a short time before the parliamentary elections in February. CC decisions have raised more criticism and have been questioned by several experts and officials, including international officials.<\/p>\n

Judges of the Constitutional Court have resigned in their bodies. The announcement was made public through a press release published on the Constitutional Court website. Resignation of constitutional judges comes after more than two weeks, experts, politicians, non-governmental organizations and members of civil society, have criticized the latest decisions taken by the Constitutional Court, demanding the resignation of constitutional judges.<\/p>\n

Reminder:<\/strong> On June 14, DPM announced that it was withdrawing from the government, and on the second day, Saturday, June 15, the CC decided to revise and cancel the decisions taken between June 7-9, which were favorable to Plahotniuc’s party.
