“Conceived to be our preeminent political act, the Constitution was drafted not in accordance with an ordinary lawmaking procedure. The adoption of our Constitution was the product of historical circumstances and implied the assessment of the general desiderata of society in the Republic of Moldova at that moment,” Constitutional Court president Domnica Manole stated in a message issued on the occasion of the Constitution Day, IPN reports.
Domnica Manole said society then pleaded for strengthening the rule of law, for guaranteeing human dignity, for protecting the basic human rights and for strengthening democracy. “The celebration of the Constitution implies the celebration of the jurisdictional activity of the Constitutional Court without which the first would be a simple statement, without a useful effect,” stated Domnica Manole.
The president of the Constitutional Court noted we should reach a moment when we can state, without any reservation, that the fundamental rights in the Republic of Moldova are effectively guaranteed by the authorities, as the Constitution provides.
President Maia Sandu also came with a message on the Constitution Day. “Adopted on July 29, 1994, the supreme law took effect on August 27 the same year, this being an important stage in building the “sovereign and independent, unitary and indivisible” state. During these 27 years, the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova underwent a number of changes, but the basic principles of the supreme law, such as the guaranteeing of civic peace, democracy, dignity, human rights and freedoms, free development of the human personality, justice and political pluralism, separation of powers in the state, independence of the judiciary and the rule of law, remained unchanged,” said President Sandu.
According to her, these are fundamental principles based on which a state with the rule of law and a society in which everyone can develop as a personality should be ultimately built.
