Maia Sandu's reaction to the Constitutional Court's decision: "Only a state cleansed of those who steal from it can offer welfare to its citizens"
Moldovan President Maia Sandu came up with a reaction after the Constitutional Court (CC) declared the "Șor" party unconstitutional. The head of state noted that "this is a decision expected by society, precisely because Moldovans value and want to live in a democratic state, in a state based on the rule of law, where criminal organisations are not protected but prevented from capturing the state".
The President also said that a political party created out of corruption and for corruption is a danger to the constitutional system and state security.
"The citizens of Moldova have always defended their freedom and demanded equal law for all. The Republic of Moldova must become a state that punishes and prevents the corrupt from using the state and public money for personal gain. Moldovans want a state that protects them from thieves and delivers justice. Only a state cleansed of those who steal from it can provide welfare to its citizens", concluded Maia Sandu.
The President of the Parliament, Igor Grosu, also reacted to the Constitutional Court's decision.
"The Constitutional Court has declared the Șor Party unconstitutional - an important victory for the democracy of this country, which for years has been victimized by this organized criminal organization, in the service of the Kremlin. It is now up to the state institutions to consider the next steps to implement the Court's decision", said Igor Grosu.
On Monday 19 June, the Constitutional Court judges declared the "Șor" party unconstitutional. The High Court granted the Government's request to ban the activity of the party led by Ilan Șor. The decision was announced by Constitutional Court President Nicolae Rosca after more than three hours of deliberations.
