Shortly after MPs of the Democratic Party notified the Constitutional Court (CC), President Igor Dodon’s decree regarding the appointment of Maia Sandu as Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova and his decree on the formation of the Government of the Republic of Moldova were declared unconstitutional. The judgement was passed soon after the naming of the leader of the Party of Socialists Zinaida Grecheanyi as Parliament Speaker was declared unconstitutional, IPN reports.

“The June 8, 2019 decree of the President of the Republic of Moldova to appoint the candidate for Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova is declared unconstitutional. The June 8, 2019 decree of the President of the Republic of Moldova on the formation of the Government of the Republic of Moldova is declared unconstitutional ,” the Constitutional Court says in its ruling.

The judgement is final and cannot be challenged. It enters into force when it is passed and is published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Moldova.
