Constitutional expert Teodor Cîrnaț said the future makeup of the Constitutional Court will have an almost impossible mission – to restore confidence in the discredited CC now that the people will question any judgement of this Court. “If the current government does not impose particular criteria related to exams and tests, the real professionals could ultimately avoid the contests ,” he stated in a program on TVR Moldova channel, IPN reports.
The president of the Liberal Democratic Party Tudor Deliu said the future judges of the Constitutional Court should be professionals. “If we extend the practice of appointing judges according to political criteria, we will never have a “constitutional” Constitutional Court. The last decisions adopted by the Court showed that the appointed judges by far didn’t stick to the letter of the law,” stated the politician.
Political commentator Corneliu Ciurea said the High Court discredited itself by the pronounced judgements and it can no longer pass irrevocable decisions. “If this Court takes decisions that will not coincide with the will of the political majority, how will society react? Won’t it be tempted to drive away these judges? Therefore, I believe the situation is very serious and I don’t think the modification of the method of appointing judges will save the CC,” noted the commentator.
