If the bill to amend the Election Code is not adopted on July 31 to ban representatives of Shor from running in elections, these can be registered as election contenders, said the secretary general of the Party ”Dignity and Truth Platform” Liviu Vovc. For his part, PAS MP Dorian Istratii expressed his conviction that the bill will be adopted on time to prevent the representatives of Shor from contending in the November 5 elections, IPN reports.
The MP of the ruling party Dorian Istratii said the bill to implement the Constitutional Court’s decision to declare the Shor Party unconstitutional could be given a second reading in the last sitting of the current parliamentary session.
“We introduced a bill that bans those who were elected on the ticket of the Shor Party or held public posts from running in elections during the next three years. This bill was designed to implement the Constitutional Court’s decision. We have a rather stiff agenda for Monday and more bills can be proposed to be added to the agenda during the sitting. If the mates from the legal commission managed to examine and appraise this bill for being put to the vote, it will be included in the agenda of Monday’s sitting,” Dorian Istratii stated in the talk show “Ghețu Asks” on TV8 channel.
Representatives of the extraparliamentary opposition warned that any delay offers additional chances of running in the November 5 local elections to representatives of the former Shor Party.
“You go on vacation on Monday and return in September. The registration of candidate starts in September. If the bill is not adopted on Monday, Shor’s people will contend in elections in November. I anticipate they will find a series of excuses for not passing this bill on Monday and the representatives of Shor will be able to run in the local elections,” stated PPPDA secretary general Liviu Vovc.
Under the draft law to supplement the Election Code, persons who were members of the outlawed party when the Constitutional Court passed its decision by which the party was declared unconstitutional, the members of the party‘s executive body and persons who held elective posts or were substitute candidates on the party’s list at that moment cannot run in elections during three years of the moment the decision is passed.
