Moldova is a state with a parliamentary system. Even if it returned to the direct election of the head of state, it changed only the method of electing the president, not the skills, said on Wednesday in an interview with Radio Free Europe the President of the Constitutional Court of Moldova, Alexandru Tanase.

It noted that by the decision of 4 March this year (to return to direct elections of the president) the Constitutional Court did not alter any of the powers of the President of the Republic of Moldova.

Therefore, Moldova remains a parliamentary state with a head of state elected by direct elections, stressed Tanase.

The Moldovan Constitutional Court President recalled that the President has powers in two major areas: defense policy, he is the supreme commander, and defense and national security head of state are quite important skills.

Also, the President represents the state in foreign relations, reminds Tanase, while stating that the president shares (government) such powers in the pursuit of foreign policy aimed at appointing ambassadors.

Lastly, the President has a role in appointing the Prime Minister, but it is a power exercise of which depends on a very important circumstance: if there is a parliamentary majority or if there is not.

The same thing we find in Lithuania and Romania. The president designates the candidate for prime minister, disregarding the opinion of the majority only if such a majority does not exist. Sure, the president has other duties related to the dissolution of the Parliament, but all those tasks to which we referred inherent the status of a head of state with a parliamentary system of government, said Tanase.

According to the President of the Constitutional Court in Chisinau, whether someone comes in the campaign with union messages, pro-European, or similar messages, only for the former Soviet empire, these messages are some political, for people to be able to outline a point of view on fundamental visions of the candidate country’s development and place for the future.

But no way they would interpret them as real political projects because the president cannot engage in a country any of these projects, he warned.

Even though the President may initiate a consultative referendum, such an exercise can’t be exercised without the participation of the parliament and government, said Alexandru Tanase.
