The Superior Council of Prosecutors (CSP) does not support the Justice Ministry's proposal to supplement the Council composition with three more members, because the autonomy of the system and the representation ratio of members are violated. Angela Motuzoc, CSP head, says that the increase in the number of members does not comply with the constitutional provisions. The practice of different countries shows that representatives of civil society do not enter in as large a number as it is proposed in the Republic of Moldova. The Minister of Justice, Olesea Stamate, argues that appointing people of integrity in key positions will ensure: a mechanism for the internal cleansing of justice structures; reducing the number of judges of the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ) from 33 to 17; the evaluation and testing judges by an independent commission, etc. Nonetheless, constitutional expert Teodor Cîrnaț believes that the current justice reform, as proposed by the new government, has no chance of succeeding. In his opinion, this is because it is proposed by people who do not have the human capacity and the political will to implement it. Public policy expert Ștefan Gligor is also of the opinion that the current reform will not bring results. The opinions were expressed at "Time of Expertise" show on Jurnal TV.
