What is happening in Moldova in relation to the so-called temporary removal of the president from office is a shameful story that disgraces and humiliates all who are involved in it. There are no such analogues either in the history of the Republic of Moldova or in the history of other states. This opinion is shared by the historian and political scientist Zurab Todua. In a comment specifically for eNews, Todua presented his point of view on this situation.
“Typically, the Constitution spelled out situations where the head of state can be removed from office. But such stories are extremely rare and are an exception. They occurred mostly in Latin American countries (this is the question – who should be the equal). What we see in Moldova in the last two years, this is arbitrariness, a violation of all conceivable laws, norms, rules and elementary common sense. However, if we follow the entire path of the ruling group, we will see that breaking the laws, including the Constitution, is the norm for these people. ” declared a political scientist.
“Where normal politicians, if an action does not comply with the law, look for a different solution in the legal field (this was the case in Moldova in the 90s and zero years), these leaders found an easy way – to adjust the laws to their whims. And so that the task was simplified to the limit, they assign to the Constitutional Court and other state institutions flexible “specialists” and those who are ready to issue any instruction of the owner.
In a sense, the Republic of Moldova today is a unique example of neglect of the laws. It is enough to quickly go through the main “achievements” in this area.
One of the brightest results of the activities of the ruling Democratic Party is the fall of the authority of state structures. If earlier the Constitutional Court, the Central Election Commission, the Supreme Court of Justice, etc. enjoyed a certain prestige, and the candidates for the appointment passed a serious selection, today there is no question
Recent appointments to the CC show that the main criteria in the personnel policy are now the “rubber” spine and GBS commitment. Only under the condition that such “professionals” will be in key positions, will the group, seizing upon the authorities in 2009, remain afloat.
Obviously, they do not imagine the situation when it will be necessary to vacate the offices that they now occupy. This is now the main danger for Moldova. And not in the “enemy” propaganda, not in the threat of revenge from the left, and not from Russia, as the TV channels, journalists and “experts”, who are at DPM’s content, say. Although the official media in Moldova, sickening in content and in form, normal people have not been watching for a long time. “, Todua writes.
What the ruling group is doing could be somehow justified if at least some elementary achievements in the economy and social life followed in exchange. There is nothing like it in sight. For ten years, Moldova has been in a state of stagnation and crisis.
Anyone who has visited Belarus, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, not to mention Russia in recent years, understands that these countries are on a different planet in terms of economic development, infrastructure, and social life. While the Democratic Party diligently returns Moldova to the Middle Ages.
