The Constitutional Court (CC) of Moldova suspended the amendments to the legislation that provided for the withdrawal of the Information and Security Service from the control of the president, reports TASS .
“The Constitutional Court ordered to suspend the operation of Law No. 218 of December 3, 2020 on amendments to some normative acts. With this law, the Parliament deprived the President of the Republic of Moldova of the opportunity to coordinate the activities of the Information and Security Service,” the press service of the judicial authority said.
The previously elected President of Moldova Maia Sandu accused the current head of state Igor Dodon an attempt to “usurp” power in the country. At the same time, she demanded the immediate resignation of the government, but refused by Prime Minister Ion Chicu.
December 3, the Moldovan parliament deprived the president of some of his powers – the deputies approved in the final reading the bill on re-subordination of the Information and Security Service to the deputy corps. This decision angered the pro-Western opposition, whose representatives blocked the podium.
The second round of the presidential elections in Moldova took place on November 15. Sandu received 57.75 percent of the vote, Dodon 42.25 percent.
