The recent appointment of former prosecutor general Corneliu Gurin and Democratic MP Artur Reshetnikov as judges of the Constitutional Court shows the current regime tries to complement the CC with persons loyal to the Democratic Party, former judge Domnica Manole stated in a program on Jurnal TV channel, IPN reports.<\/p>\n
According to her, the new CC judges were appointed by flagrantly flouting the law. \u201cAll the legal provisions were flagrantly violated. We cannot say that Mister Gurin and Mister Reshetnikov hold the posts legally,\u201d stated Domnica Manole.<\/p>\n
Political commentator Alexandr Petkov said those who hold power in Moldova at present simply discredited the Constitutional Court. It has happened for many years. \u201cBy such appointments, they cause feelings of fright and profound disappointment in what is going on,\u201d he stated, adding the persons who were appointed CC judges do not have what any Constitutional Court judge should have not only by law, but also by tradition.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The deputy Artur Reshetnikov who ran from the Communist Party to the Democratic Party in 2017 was appointed a judge of the Constitutional Court.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Jurist Sergei Mishin said when an MP of the Democratic Party is named CC judge without obeying the internal regulations, the CC starts to be increasingly regarded as a body that stopped being the guarantor of the distribution of powers, as the Constitution provides. \u201cBesides the fact that the CC passes political judgements, it now dares to become involved in constitutional matters and to modify the Constitution as it is suitable for it, more exactly for those who now form part of the Court,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n The Government on December 12 named MP Artur Reshetnikov, former director of the Security and Intelligence Service, as judge of the Constitutional Court. It happened only one day after the Superior Council of Magistracy appointed ex-prosecutor general Corneliu Gurin to a similar post.<\/p>\n Source: ipn.md<\/a><\/p>\n P.S.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/humanrights-online.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/reshetnikov2.jpg\")
