Octavian Bodareu, the prosecutor in Bălți municipality, expressed his discontent with the organization for the election of the general prosecutor. 

Talking with Publika, Bodareu said he had submitted an application according to the Participation Regulations. However, the Ministry of Justice considered it was not completed due to lack of affidavit. He was not admitted to the competition as a result. 

According to Bodareu, he intended to submit an affidavit with the original documents on the day of interview. He was of the opinion that the Justice Ministry wanted to restrict the participation of prosecutors in the competition. 

"I have serious doubts that they would favor certain candidates from outside the prosecutor's office. I believe that this contest must be a transparent one, an equidistant one, a democratic one, because it is an important step for the justice reform in the Republic of Moldova and it is up to the whole society to know about all the illegalities and all the abuses that are committed, "said Octavian Bodareu, prosecutor.

The Minister of Justice, Olesea Stamate, has not yet commented on the accusations of Octavian Bodareu.

The competition also outraged another prosecutor, Artur Lupașco. On a social network post, he announced he was not admitted because the application lacked affidavit. 

He tried to sign the document for two days, Saturday and Sunday, but the Ministry was closed although the institution announced working days including weekend. 

Olesea Stamate felt regretted after Artur Lupașco failed to submit the application, especially since five candidates presented their complete files namely on Saturday and Sunday. The Minister of Justice also mentioned that the files also contained affidavits which were printed, signed and scanned or electronically signed.
