In an interview with Radio Free Europe, “Our Party” candidate (PN) for President of the Republic of Moldova, Dumitru Ciubasenco, said that if elected president on October 30, he will help create the fourth Moldavian republic. “After the dissolution of parliament, early elections and formation of a new government, I will propose to convene a constituent assembly with wide representation, involving all political forces, regions, experts including foreign experts that will draft a new fundamental law, a new constitution, to be adopted through national referendum. I call it the Fourth Moldavian republic, which must be created on the basis of this constitution. The first republic was in 1918, the second was the Soviet Moldova, the third is Moldova we live today, and we intend to create a new Moldova, the fourth Moldavian republic. There are examples like this in Europe, France for instance”, said the PN candidate.

People with mental disabilities are deprived of many rights, including the right to vote. In this regard, the Ombudsman Mihail Cotorobai said that if this issue will not be solved, they will appeal to the ECHR.
