PCRM will defend Muruianu
The Communist Party will defend Ion Muruianu, who has been recently dismissed from the post of president of the Supreme Court of Justice, at the Constitutional Court. The party's president Vladimir Voronin said Ion Muruianu did not attack the journalists when he named them 'rabid dogs'. On the contrary, he wanted to support them, Info-Prim Neo reports.
In a news conference on March 11, Voronin said he understood Muruianu's statements concerning the journalists in a different way. “I also consider that some of the journalists behave like rabid dogs. It is an allegory or an aphorism as the dog bites when they lead a miserable life. Muruianu targeted the press employers, who should take care of their employees. He wanted to defend you, but you did not understand him and did not protect him,” Voronin told the reporters.
“Muruianu is a nice man. There are not many professionals like him. That's why we will support him and appealed the Parliament's decision to dismiss him to the Constitutional Court ,” Voronin said, adding this Court adjusted itself quickly when the power was changed, questioning thus its work
The former head of state also said that Ion Muruianu is not to blame for the cases lost by Moldova at the ECHR. “These two lads, Alexandru Tanase and Vitalie Nagacevski (Liberal-Democrat MPs - e.n.) were taking candies to the secretaries working in the ECHR's anteroom and stimulating the conviction of Moldova and now accuse Muruianu of all the problems. It is clear that personal goals are pursued,” Vladimir Voronin said.
Muruianu was discharged from the post of president of the Supreme Court of Justice by the vote of the Liberal-Democrat MPs. The Supreme Council of Magistrates gave judge Ion Muruianu a severe reprimand.
