The Venice Commission, summoned by the Council of Europe to opine on the decisions of the Constitutional Court
Thorbjorn Jagland, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, calls for the urgent opinion of the Venice Commission on the latest decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Moldova, including on the conditions for the dissolution of the Parliament.ß
“I am extremely concerned by the latest developments in Moldova. I call on the democratically elected Parliament, the legitimate Government and all political forces to act with restraint and responsibility. Recent decisions of the Constitutional Court are difficult to understand and seem to be arbitrary in the light of the text of the Constitution and of international rule of law standards.
In a democratic state everybody must respect the Constitution, in case of uncertainty a good objective advice is always needed.
Therefore I decided today in my capacity of Secretary General to request an urgent opinion of the Venice Commission on the latest decisions, including on the conditions of dissolution of the Moldovan Parliament,” according to a statement of the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, Thorbjorn Jagland.
The weekend of 7-9 June 2019 could remain one of the most important periods in the history of Moldova.
