Moldova's parliament
CHISINAU (Moldova), April 26 (SeeNews) - Moldova's parliament decided to sack the head of the constitutional court - a move that drew criticism from the United States and the European Union, voting data showed.
Top judge Domnica Manole was dismissed with the combined vote of 54 lawmakers from pro-Moscow Socialist Party (PSRM) and Sor Party, according to data posted on the parliament's website on Friday.
On April 15, the constitutional court ruled that the parliament can be dissolved due to its inability to approve a government within the deadlines set by the constitution, paving the way for early elections. The court's decision, which was adopted in response to a request by Moldova's pro-European president Maia Sandu, is final and cannot be appealed.
