Grosu says Herman von Hebel will stay on the Vetting Commission
The speaker of Parliament says the Dutch expert will remain on the Vetting Commission, although the Constitutional Court has ruled the vote that appointed him unconstitutional.
Written later, from the reports of that day.
What it means for you
For now the expert stays on the commission, and appointments made so far are not cancelled automatically. The authorities will review the ruling and change the law where needed. No date for the change has been announced.
What happened
Parliament speaker Igor Grosu said on 22 October that expert Herman von Hebel will stay on the Vetting Commission. He says the Constitutional Court ruling does not apply retroactively. Grosu criticised the opposition, which he said objected to the expert only over how he drank tea during hearings.
In short
- On 15 October the Constitutional Court ruled unconstitutional a change that cut the votes needed to appoint international members from 61 to 51.
- Five opposition MPs filed the complaint: Ion Chicu, Alexandr Berlinschii, Adrian Lebedinskii, Alexandru Versinin and Diana Caraman.
- Grosu said international experts were proposed by Moldova's development partners, not by Parliament or the Ministry of Justice.
- The Constitutional Court ruling is final and applies only to the future.
