President Igor Dodon said he will not sign the decree to dissolve Parliament today, June 8, as no constitutional provision obliges him to do this, IPN reports.
In a news conference, President Dodon said that under the Constitution, the President, after consulting the parliamentary groups, can dissolve the legislative body. “No provision obliges me to sign the Parliament dissolution decree,” he stated, noting on June 10 he will invite the parliamentary groups to consultations, as the Constitution provides, and will then ask the Constitutional Court to ascertain the circumstances leading to the dissolution.
The official said the parliamentary parties can have talks today as well. “The main question is if the common vote in Parliament is recognized or not and if this is held today?” stated President Dodon. According to him, at domestic level those who control the power will not recognize this vote and the CC will not recognize it either. He believes the prosecutor’s office will take legal action over an attempted coup and the MPs know this. It is not clear if this is recognized at foreign level. In this connection, he invited the ambassadors of the EU, Russia and the U.S. to discussions at 11am.
Igor Dodon called on the people to stay at home and not to yield to provocations amid the attempts to destabilize the situation in the country. “We know you are forced to take to the streets and know what preparations were made the past few weeks and who those athletes are and from where they were brought. Don’t block the Government, Parliament and Presidentially Office,” stated Igor Dodon.
He recommended the police not to implement the orders that are against the law and not to allow provocations.
Following its judgment of June 7, the Constitutional Court on June 8 specified that Parliament of the tenth legislature should have completed the formation of the Government by June 7, 2019 inclusive.
