The Liberal Party’s leader Mihai Ghimpu considers the Government can set up its own council for the reform of the legal system. The politician has told Info-Prim Neo that the subject is in fact highly politicized and does not constitute a real problem. “I regret the discussions that are held on the issue. The matter is politicized and this is to the detriment of the alliance. The Government can constitute a council if it wants. It prepares bills and implements them. Why shouldn’t it have a council, which is only a consultative body? The head of state promulgates the laws. He should also have a consultative council. The legislative body can also create its own council. It’s not bad for an institution to have its own council with specialists who can improve the legislation and adjust it to the European standards,” said Mihai Ghimpu. The decree to constitute the national council for the reform of the legal system issued by Acting President Marian Lupu on May 19 provoked bewilderment in the Government. Shortly afterward, Prime Minister Vlad Filat announced that the executive abandoned the intention to set up a council for the reform of the legal system, which was to pursue the same goals. In the first meeting of the national council, Minister of Justice Oleg Efrim demanded that First Deputy Speaker Vlad Plahotniuc be excluded from the body, arguing that the Government questions his knowledge in the field.
