Filip: I Do Not Think the Constitutional Court Will Cancel Parliament’s Decision to Introduce the State of Emergency

The chances for the Constitutional Court to overturn parliament’s decision to declare the state of emergency are very small. This is the opinion of the leader of the Democratic Party Pavel Filip, who stated there are no grounds for canceling this decision but anything can be expected, tvrmoldova.md reported. “The question is when will early elections take place? The Constitutional Court gave the president the opportunity to dissolve parliament. I am confident that she will sign a dissolution decree. According to the constitution, parliament cannot be dissolved during the state of emergency. This petition exists, but I do not think the Constitutional Court will overturn parliament's decision to declare the state of emergency. Thus, if making some calculations, we can say it is most likely for early elections to take place in August,” Pavel Filip said. Recall, on Thursday, April 15, the Constitutional Court established circumstances existed for parliament dissolution and early elections holding.
