“The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Moldova today actually formalized a constitutional coup, changing its own position of February 23, 2021, and many others, which clearly indicate the decisive role of the parliamentary majority,” he wrote on Facebook.
According to Dodon, such a decision of the Constitutional Court actually means "the transformation of Moldova from a parliamentary into a presidential republic", which will have "very grave consequences in legal and constitutional terms, as well as for ordinary citizens."
He promised that the Socialist Party of Moldova will hold a meeting of the governing bodies on March 23 to determine further actions.
Earlier, the Constitutional Court of Moldova recognized as legitimate the order of the country's President, Maia Sandu, on the nomination of Grosu as prime minister.
Sandu nominated Grossa for the prime minister of Moldova after the country's Constitutional Court ruled at the end of February that her decision to re-nominate ex-finance minister Natalia Gavrilitsa to this post was illegal.
The Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova has promised to challenge in the Constitutional Court Sandu's decree nominating Grosu for the post of prime minister.
After that, the parliamentary majority in Moldova nominated the country's ambassador to Russia Vladimir Golovatyuk as a candidate for prime minister.
