Moldova took a step closer towards a snap election on April 15 when the country’s Constitutional Court ruled that President Maia Sandu is free to dissolve parliament. However, she will have to wait until May 31 – when the current state of emergency is due to end – before doing so. Moldova’s Constitutional Court ruled on April 15 that the country’s president, Maia Sandu, is free to dissolve parliament and call a snap election. The ruling follows a series of unsuccessful attempts by various parliamentary groupings to form a government. “This is an important decision not just for constitutional justice in our country, but for the state of Moldova and its citizens,” said Sandu, who personally pleaded her case before the court.
