Moldovan president says 'decisive' action needed to defend democracy
Sandu's remarks come two days after a Moldovan court rejected an appeal by a senior member of the banned party of fugitive business magnate Ilan Shor to run for mayor of Moldova's second largest city, Balti. The president, who has spearheaded Moldova's bid to join the European Union, said she would not comment on the workings of the judiciary, but added that the courts were too slow to act.
