Renato Usatyi: Dodon plans to extend state of emergency for a month so as to delay snap elections

The leader of Our Party Renato Usatyi shares the parliamentary opposition’s opinion that the state of emergency was declared with the aim of delaying the dissolution of Parliament as the legislative body during the state of emergency is maintained functional, under the Constitution. Moreover, according to Usatyi, Igor Dodon intends to extend the state of emergency by vote in Parliament so as to delay the snap parliamentary elections for one more month, IPN reports.

According to Usatyi, the state of emergency was declared not due to the large number of deaths and infected persons, but because the Socialist want to delay the snap parliamentary elections. Igor Dodon anticipates the Constitutional Court will ascertain the circumstances for dissolving Parliament.

“If the Constitutional Court decides to dissolve Parliament, the elections can be held within 90 days of the signing of the dissolution decree. Therefore, the state of emergency was declared for 60 days so that the elections are held in September-October. As a reserve scenario, they can extend the state of emergency for one more month,” Renato Usatyi stated in the program “Black Box” on TV8 channel.

According to Usatyi, Igor Dodon actually manages the interim Government and a Cabinet meeting was held at the head office of the PSRM to discuss the declaring of a state of emergency.

“The meeting was chaired by Dodon. All those who remained in the Cabinet – ministers, secretaries of state – represent the Socialists. The Cabinet meeting was held at the PSRM’s head office on March 29, starting at 7pm,” said Renato Usatyi.

He noted that after the state of emergency is lifted, Our Party will mount large-scale protests against the disastrous management of the sanitary crisis in the country. The Commission for Exceptional Situations decided that large-scale events, including protests, cannot be mounted during the state of emergency.
