Democratic MP Sergiu Sarbu on January 4 filed an application to the Constitutional Court whereby he requests to ascertain the circumstances that justify the necessity of suspending the Head of State from post in order to promulgate the law by which changes were made to the Broadcasting Code given that President Igor Dodon two times refused to promulgate this law, IPN reports.

The applicant says the deliberate refusal by President Dodon to fulfill his constitutional duty to promulgate the law that was adopted by Parliament two times led to an institutional deadlock. Sergiu Sarbu requested to examine the application as a matter of urgency.

The Constitutional Court’s press service said the application will be examined at 10:30 on January 5.

Also on January 4, President Igor Dodon requested the Constitutional Court to determine the constitutionality of provisions of the given law. The law amends the Broadcasting Code and bans the transmission of news, feature, military and political radio and TV programs produced in other states than the EU, the U.S., Canada and the states that ratified the European Convention on Transfrontier Television.
