The National Unity Party (PUN) requested the National Integrity Authority (NIA) to lift the immunity of Vladimir Țurcan and remove him from the post of Constitutional Court judge. In a posting on Facebook, PUN leader Octavian Țîcu says the judge is the president of a political party and this post is incompatible with the post of CC judge, IPN reports.
“This judge grossly ignored all the law norms and should answer for this. We ask the National Integrity Authority to examine this notification immediately and to ascertain the incompatibility of these posts,” wrote Octavian Țîcu.
According to the MP, the data of the Public Services Agency show that Vladimir Țurcan heads the political party “United Moldova – Edinaya Moldova”.
Under the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova, the post of CC judge is incompatible with any other public or private rewarded post, except for teaching and scientific activity.
Vladimir Țurcan was named CC judge in the middle of August 2019.
