Moldova was recognized as a “captured state”
At a meeting on June 8, deputies of the Parliament of Moldova adopted a declaration that recognizes the country as a “captured state,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The declaration was supported by 61 parliamentarians out of 100. This is the size of the parliamentary majority formed by the Socialist Party and ACUM. The parliamentary majority adopted a declaration “Condemning the attempt to usurp power by the Democratic Party and its leader, the oligarch and in fact the owner of the country, Vladimir Plahotniuc, through the Constitutional Court.” In it, the parliament declared illegal the actions of the Constitutional Court, which refused to recognize the legitimacy of the legislative assembly and the new government.
The political crisis in Moldova is associated with the results of the February elections, in which 35 seats were won by the socialists supported by the current president Igor Dodon, 30 by the Democratic Party (leader Vladimir Plahotniuc) and 26 by the ACUM bloc. The parties were unable to agree on a coalition that would allow them to form a majority government. The remaining Cabinet of Ministers was formed by the Democratic Party and was in political confrontation with Dodon.
7 June The country's constitutional court ordered the president of Moldova to dissolve the parliament due to the fact that he could not form a government within three months. However, Igor Dodon refused to sign the corresponding decree.
On June 8, the socialists and ACUM managed to reach an agreement, which resulted in the formation of a government. In total, they control 61 seats out of 101. The leader of the pro-Romanian liberal-nationalist party “Action and Solidarity” (14 seats in parliament, part of the ACUM bloc), Maia Sandu, should become the prime minister of the country. However, the Constitutional Court declared the decision of parliamentarians illegal.
