“The Constitutional Court didn’t allow again Maia Sandu to violate the Constitution by replacing and naming ministers as she likes when there is an interim government,” the leader of the Party of Socialists stated after the Court on March 4 pronounced on President Sandu’s request to declare some of the provisions of the Law on the Government unconstitutional, IPN reports.

The Constitutional Court declared constitutional the provisions that ban the Government whose mandate ended from dismissing persons holding public posts or public servants, except for cases when the persons have objective reasons that prevent them from fulfilling their duties.

The Court declared yet unconstitutional the provisions that ban the Government whose mandate ended from naming or proposing persons for public posts others than of ministers. “The CC’s decision to allow the interim government to name managers of the second level, such as secretaries of state and heads of departments and agencies, is correct. This will prevent the blocking of the activity of state institutions,” noted Igor Dodon.

The Socialist leader also said that it is right to offer additional powers to the interim government if Parliament adopts a decision concerning an emergency.
