Moldovan Judge Calls Judicial Reform a 'Diversion'

Moldova's Judicial Reform: A 'Diversion' or Genuine Change? Former Constitutional Judge Raises Concerns Chisinau, Moldova – A recent interview with former Constitutional Judge Mihai Pulbere has ignited a renewed debate surrounding the reform of Moldova's judicial system. Pulbere, a respected figure in Moldovan legal circles, sharply criticized the ongoing process, describing it not as a reform, but as a "diversion." "This is not inherent in Moldovan legislation," Pulbere stated, referring to the prolonged nature of the reform. "Such experience has not been seen in the Republic of Moldova. I would call this a real diversion against the judicial system and the prosecutor's office." Pulbere's concerns center on the lack of clearly defined goals and the extended timeframe of the reform. He points out that genuine reforms are not drawn out over years, suggesting that the current process lacks direction and transparency. His comments raise questions about the true intentions behind the reform and its potential impact on the rule of law in Moldova. The interview highlights the ongoing challenges facing Moldova in its efforts to strengthen its judicial system and ensure accountability within the government.
