DA Platform Challenged Constitutionality of State of Emergency in the Constitutional Court

The DA Platform has applied to the Constitutional Court with a request for constitutional review of the state of emergency. According to the formation, during the state of emergency there were too many abuses by law enforcement agencies, and unreasonable fines were imposed, ipn.md reports. "The impression is that the desperate authorities want to fill the budget deficiencies with fines assigned left and right,” the DA Platform press release notes cited by IPN. “I know that they offended you. I know that you were fined for amounts exceeding the amount of your pension for two or even three years, without proof of your guilt. I know that economic agents were also persecuted and forced to pay huge fines of tens of thousands lei for unreasonable acts, only to raise money at any cost for the budget plundered by thieves. I know that the period of consideration of cases within 72 hours seriously affects a fair trial and was introduced by an unlawful decision of the CoES,” the DA Platform deputy Vasile Nastase said with regard to this issue. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, since the declaration of the state of emergency on March 17, police fined more than 36 million lei. According to constitutional jurisdiction, the date, time and place of a meeting of the Constitutional Court shall be communicated to the parties no later than ten days before the start of the meeting, with the exception of emergency cases.
