A group of activists requests the public association”Parlamentul-90” (Independence Parliament), whose members are considered the only legal representatives of Moldova’s people, to convoke the Great National Assembly on March 27, 2020. At the assembly, the members of the Independence Parliament will call on the people to overcome this tragic collapse in the legislation and at all the state institutions so as to bring to an end the violation of human rights, of the rights of the Romanian and Moldovan citizens. Such an appeal was read in a news conference at IPN.
The activists ask to set up a council responsible for the organization and holding of the Great National Assembly and to periodically inform society, the foreign embassies in Moldova and the European organizations to which Moldova is a party or is on the process of pre-accession about the convening of the Great National Assembly and the preparations for this.
According to Anatolie Petrici, of the public association Center for the Protection of Fundamental Rights “Sirius”, the call is made in the wake of a study of Moldova’s and Romania’s legislation carried out by the organization in 2018-2019. This ascertained that the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Moldova since 1995 has abided by a Code that wasn’t adopted by Parliament.
The Election Code was passed by Parliament in 1997 also in breach of the Constitution. Therefore, the current Election Code does not have legal force. “The Election Code should have been adopted by an organic law, as it is provided in the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova, but we do not have such a law. Respectively, since 1997 all the elections in Moldova have been held based on an alleged regulation. The same is true about 18 Codes of the Republic of Moldova that haven’t been adopted by Parliament and are thus null and void,” stated Anatolie Petrici.
Law Faculty student Cristian Gheorghiță, who read the appeal, said that since December 1997, when the Election Code was published in the Official Gazette, all the parliamentary, presidential and local elections have been held illegally. The Code wasn’t adopted by Parliament by an organic law, but the Constitution and other documents do not stipulate a different adoption method.
In another development, Gheorghe Răileanu, former mayor of Cimișlia town, said the policy of the unionist forces should be reviewed until March 27. “Shall we choose other leaders or work massively for the union? The leaders showed to us for many times that they didn’t resist or weren’t able to lead us effectively towards the achievement of the national ideal. Only the combination of forces and the creation of an intellectual group that can be wise enough to bring everyone together at a table and to formulate correct tasks can help and this is our perspective,” stated Gheorghe Răileanu
Valeriu Dulgheru, professor of the Technical University, said the unionists have no chance of winning the presidential elections at the end of this year if there are many candidates of the right or of the center right. “We will not have chances of winning if we do not have a common candidate of the Euro-unionist forces,” noted the professor.
