Court brought down by power by Moldova president

A Moldova court has freed the incumbent president of this state, Igor Dodon, from office. This decision deepens the crisis among political parties for forming the new government after several months of blockade.

His successor, former Prime Minister Pavel Philip, announced the early elections, which will be held in September, while thousands of supporters of his party gathered at a rally in Moldova's capital, Chisinau.

This crisis could result in more instability in one of Europe's smallest and poorest states, in which 3.5 million people live. High levels of corruption and low standard of living have forced many citizens of this country to immigration to Russia and other European states.

Dodon's Socialist Party on Saturday announced it will form the government coalition with the ACUM bloc, which is a supporter of the European Union. He said the court is not politically independent and accused the Democrats of climbing to power. Dodon also called on the international community to intervene in this situation.

He added: “Moldovan citizens with different positions on domestic and foreign policy could unite for the sake of a common goal. This goal is to free the Republic of Moldova from the criminal and dictatorial regime”, writes “Reuters”.
