The leader of the PSRM Igor Dodon, ex-President of the Republic of Moldova, said the Party of Socialists is ready for snap elections and these were inevitable, but should have been delayed owing to the pandemic. Igor Dodon said that being guided by evil political goals and the avid wish to increase the number of seats in the future Parliament at any cost, President Maia Sandu initiated a very dangerous experiment: for the first time in the last several decades, Moldova remained without a Parliament and without a functional Government for an indefinite period of time. The reaction comes after Maia Sandu announced that she signed the decree to dissolve Parliament and to call snap elections for July 11, IPN reports.
“In autumn, the number of infections would have declined. However, if for Maia Sandu and her coordinators from the West, the risks to which the citizens of Moldova are exposed do not matter, if the politically controlled Constitutional Court does not care about the Constitution and they together insist on an immediate election campaign, they should assume full responsibility for what is going on,” Igor Dodon posted on Facebook. He noted that together with the annulment of the state of emergency, the Government was deprived of the right to swiftly take the necessary decisions related to the pandemic, the economic and social crisis. “Annulling the state of emergency by the controversial decision of the pocket Constitutional Court, the President and his party annulled a number of initiatives that were approved earlier by the Government to support the population and business entities.”
According to the Socialist leader, “acting on the instructions of coordinators from the West, Maia Sandu and her political satellites throw the country into an election campaign during the height of the pandemic, when the number of immunized citizens represents only about 3%, amid an enormous budget deficit.” He warns that money for elections hasn’t been earmarked this year and this should be now taken from other important sources and reserves, including from the funds planned for purchasing vaccines.
President Maia Sandu signed the decree to dissolve Parliament in the evening of April 28, following the Constitutional Court’s ruling that the Parliament decision to declare a state of emergency for a period of two months is unconstitutional.
