In a statement relayed by TASS, the Opposition Party of Socialists asserts that President Maia Sandu is interfering with Moldova’s judiciary, pointing to plans to establish an Anti-Corruption Court as evidence. The party contends that the proposed court would handle cases involving judges and, as such, represents a direct intrusion into the functioning of the republic’s legal institutions.
The Socialist faction emphasizes that any interference with the independence of the judiciary constitutes a crime. They condemn what they describe as political pressure exerted by President Sandu and her parliamentary ally, the Party of Action and Solidarity, labeling the move as a calculated effort to bend the judiciary to political ends rather than safeguard the rule of law.
According to the socialists, Moldova’s leadership should refrain from transforming the state into a political extension of a single administration within the judicial system. They stress that the Sandu administration is attempting to influence the course of justice to align with its policy goals, and they condemn the perceived meddling by what they call the Sandu regime.
During a recent session in the Moldovan Parliament, Sandu countered with remarks aimed at the opposition, asserting that the republic faces accusations of having close ties with Russia. She framed the debate as part of broader political disputes rather than a discussion about constitutional reforms, underscoring the volatility surrounding the judiciary and the balance of power in the country.
