Three members requested to convene a meeting of the Superior Council of Prosecutors. These are Minister of Justice Olesea Stamate, academician Ion Guceac and professor Dumitru Pulbere.

Contacted by IPN for a comment, Ion Guceac said the position of the Superior Council of Prosecutors on the subjects discussed today in society is required. The Council’s secretary has ten days to organize the meeting.

“I understood that it will be organized and the agenda is being prepared. We will be probably informed additionally,” stated Ion Guceac.

On July 9, Parliament adopted a motion saying that Eduard Harunjen had not been eligible to become Prosecutor General and recommending the President to “terminate his employment”.

The Democratic MPs, who left the assembly hall before the issue was put to the vote, invoked the violation of the legislation, noting Parliament cannot modify the procedure for dismissing the prosecutor general.

Article 25 of the Constitution provides that the prosecutor general can be dismissed by a presidential decree at the suggestion of the Superior Council of Prosecutors.
