Sergei Syrbu and Corneliu Padnevic appealed to the Constitutional Court with a demand to establish the circumstances under which it is necessary to temporarily remove the head of state from performing duties.

The reason for such actions was the president's repeated refusal to sign a decree on the appointment of new ministers proposed by the Democratic Party.

At the same time, the deputies asked the judges to consider their request urgently. By Christmas, the country "will have a functional government" expressed hope Sirbu. And he added: "Perhaps it will be an unpleasant gift to the president for the New Year, but he himself provoked this crisis," quotes Newsmaker. In the morning of Thursday, December 28, Igor Dodon not for the first time rejected candidacies for the posts of two vice-premiers and five ministers proposed by the government. He said that he was not going to "concede in this situation," and called the nomination of seven new cabinet members "the product of another political collusion". Temporarily perform the duties of the president and sign a decree on appointments, if necessary, in accordance with the decision of the COP on October 17, may the speaker of parliament or the prime minister. Similarly, without the president's signature, they appointed Defense Minister Eugen Sturza. Then the Constitutional Court ruled that it justified the temporary execution of the duties of the head of state because of Igor Dodon's refusal to fulfill his constitutional duties.

Earlier, on December 19, the leader of the Democratic Party Vladimir Plahotniuc announced the end of the transition period in the government reform and the resignation of two-thirds of the ministers. And he also named the new composition of the "technocratic cabinet of ministers", which included former head of the CC Alexandru Tanase and former premieres Kirill Gaburic and Iurie Leanca. Moldavia is a parliamentary republic. Between the deputies and the current president there are always disagreements. At the same time, the majority in the parliament consists of representatives of pro-European parties.
