A member of the Central Electoral Commission (CEC), Nicolae Garbu accuses that the work of the CEC is politicized by the majority group of members, formed from representatives of the Communists Party and of the Christian Democratic People's Party, as the steps undertaken by the CEC leadership in the wake of the 2009 parliamentary elections are insufficient. The CEC's chairman Eugeniu Stirbu rejects the accusations, Info-Prim Neo reports. Nicolae Garbu told a news conference Monday that the majority group in the CEC “does not honor its commitments and violates the law”. According to Garbu, the CEC management and the majority group reject all the proposals to modify the CEC's Regulation, to update the voters lists and to train electoral judges. “The present Regulation runs counter certain provisions of the Electoral Code, breeches and restricts the rights of the CEC members to convene extraordinary sittings, so it is impossible to influence on the CEC's decisions running counter the law,” Nicolae Garbu alleges. He says the voters lists were not updated in 2008, as the Electoral Code envisages. Of those electoral functionaries to work in 2,000 bureaus, stations and constituency commissions only 350 people will get training, that 2%, Garbu accuses. He accuses the majority grouping of illegally canceling the decision of giving a councilor mandate in Leova district to a representative of Moldova Noastra Alliance, Larisa Topala. “Through those actions the CEC exceed its powers and used its authority to execute instructions from a political party, placing higher the group interests than ensuring the electoral rights of the Moldovan citizens,” Nicolae Garbu claims. Garbu asks CEC chairman Eugeniu Stirbu “to step away from the majority grouping created by members representing the Communists and the Christian-Democrats and urgently convene an extraordinary sitting to debate on the mentioned issues.” When asked to comment the accusations, the CEC chairman rejected all of them, by calling them “aberrations.” Eugeniu Stirbu has told media he was not, is not and will not be a partisan of anybody and Nicolae Garbu would “seek scandal and would try to influence him.” Stirbu maintains the Regulation has already been modified, after the Parliament modified the Code. “Only the proposal to modify the Electoral Code during electoral campaigns was not accepted because we consider the game rules cannot be changed during elections,” he said . Eugeniu Stirbu specifies that the CEC withdrew the mandate of the AMN councilor, after finding that the respective decision of the district council was faked. The AMN representative sued the CEC's decision, but the court left it as valid, Stirbu says. He adds the voters lists were checked up by March 1, 2008. Since July, the CEC has instructed trainers to train electoral functionaries. In November, judges to deal with electoral litigations will get trained, as well as representatives of political parties, local districts, the chairman said. The CEC is formed of 9 members: one appointed by the President, one – by the Government, and seven by parliamentary factions proportionally. As due, the CEC members ceased being party members. Nicolae Garbu was appointed by Moldova Noastra Alliance and Eugeniu Stirbu – by the Democratic Party.
