Parliament Speaker Andrian Candu called for a nominal vote on the draft Constitutional amendment by introducing the phrase on European Integration. In this context, PCRM President Vladimir Voronin said he would vote for the project only if the head of the Legislature would tell him what the legal factor was regarding the introduction of the phrase "European integration" into the Constitution.
"The Constitution is a basic, fundamental law of the country." The consultation with the citizens is a European norm. The most important questions, always asking Europe to be consulted with the citizens Why is it necessary to introduce this phrase of European integration into the Constitution? "If you convince us, there are no problems, we are voting", said Vladimir Voronin.
The head of the legislature tried to convince PCRM lawmakers and came up with arguments, saying that this change of the Supreme Law of the Republic of Moldova would define the development vector of our republic and it will be a constitutional guarantee with legal impact for the Chisinau governments.
"-Do you vote? -Yes. -Ok, so we will try to convince you. Constitution is the basic form. From there we have other laws. And in case another laws are in contradiction with the Constitution there are unconstitutional. If in the constitution it is written that the European integration of the Republic of Moldova is the strategic objective of the country's development, it means that the laws to be approved by this Parliament from now on, the state policies, the behavior of the civil servant will absolutely be done for the European integration, will be a constitutional guarantee. Thus, those laws risk being unconstitutional. This is the legal impact.
It's about implementing legal rules. It has not only a political, ideological, but also a legal impact. Nothing is restricted. But at the same time, all state policies, once the Constitution is amended with these provisions, will be created and developed and implemented for European integration. We want to dress it in legal form. I hope I convinced you, I see that I convinced you and you will vote", said the President of Parliament.
According to Andrian Candu, the amendment of the Constitution will not only be a political message, but legal provisions that will have a legal impact, and every Moldovan official will be obliged to work on this desideratum of European integration.
