The enshrining of the European course in the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova is a manipulation and an electoral action, Socialist MP Vlad Batrîncea was quoted by IPN as saying in the talk show “Direct access” on NTV Moldova channel.

“You cannot make a mandatory constitutional norm of this. We, at the right time, will go to the Venice Commission and other institutions to struggle and prevent the introduction of this absolutely shameful provision in our Constitution,” stated the MP.

According to Vlad Batrîncea, any attempt to isolate the Republic of Moldova from the East or the West causes damage to the citizens. No government should impose its view. “Imagine for at least a moment that the Socialists come to power and amend the Constitution to enshrine the compulsoriness of the Eurasian integration. We will surely not do something like this. Imagine what the reaction will be,” noted the politician.

He said the enshrining of the European course in the Constitution would mean that the promotion of any other views will be anti-constitutional and illegal. “And practically half of the country will be brought outside the law,” stated the MP.
