“This is a decision awaited by society namely because the Moldovans value and want to live in a democratic state, in a state with the rule of law where criminal organizations are not protected, but are prevented from capturing the state,” President Maia Sandu stated after the Constitutional Court passed its decision by which the Shor Party was declared unconstitutional, IPN reports.
The official noted that a party created with corruption and for corruption is a danger to the constitutional system and state security. The state institutions should analyze the Court’s reasons and should take the next steps in order to comply with and effectively implement this decision.
“The citizens of the Republic of Moldova always defended their freedom and asked for equal law for everyone. The Republic of Moldova must become a state that penalizes and prevents the corrupt persons from using the state and public funds for personal interests. The Moldovans want a state that protects them from thieves and does justice. Only a state cleared of those who rob can offer wellbeing to its citizens,” started President Sandu.
The Shor Party was outlawed. The decision was pronounced by the Constitutional Court on Monday following the Government’s request to examine the constitutionality of this party. Since the CC passed its decision, the Shor Party is considered dissolved. No document adopted by the bodies of this party after the given decision was pronounced has legal power. The given decision is definitive, cannot be challenged, takes effect when it is adopted and is published in the Official Gazette. CC judge Sergey Țurcan formulated a dissident opinion on the issue, while CC judge Vladimir Țurcan formulated a separate opinion. Representatives of the Shor Party described the CC’s decision abusive and criminal. According to them, this will be the first CC decision that will be annulled by the European Court of Human Rights.
