The National Unity Party (PUN) requested the Constitutional Court (CC) to pronounce on the law on the languages spoken on the territory of the Republic of Moldova that was adopted on December 16 by the MPs of the Party of Socialists and For Moldova Platform, which includes the MPs of the Shor Party, IPN reports.

“The adoption of laws that favors the expansionist policy of the Russian Federation, that are aimed at ensuring the federalization of the Republic of Moldova and that destroy the economic and political relations of the Republic of Moldova shows that Igor Dodon, for the own survival and for maintaining the Russian interests, chose to destroy the state,” says the press statement issued by the PUN.

According to the party, the laws adopted on December 16, without obeying the parliamentary norms and without appropriate public consultations, ignoring the rule of law principles, are an unprecedented attack on democracy in the Republic of Moldova, maximally exacerbate the confrontation in society and irremediably deepen the international isolation of the state.

The PUN condemns the way in which the state budget law and the law to amend and supplement the Code of Audiovisual Media Services were adopted and the abrogation of the “billion law”, which were all promulgated by incumbent President Igor Dodon on December 18.

PPPDA MP Dinu Plîngău also intended to challenge the laws adopted on December 16, but the Parliament’s Secretariat refused to present the final text of the bills sent for promulgation. “They were instructed to prevent us from challenging them until Dodon promulgates them. I made an approach by which I warned him of criminal liability. What is ridiculous is that they explained their refusal by saying that they do not have sheets of paper on which to print the bills. They cannot send them electronically as they need relevant instructions from the Parliaments’ administration,” said the MP.
