“Together with Mr. Charles Michel, we talked about the importance of justice reform and declared that a state will only be functional when we have a fair justice system. In this context, we reviewed the latest events in the system and conveyed to him that we are counting on brave and integrity judges who will unlock the situation. At the same time, we asked that the European Union align itself with the sanctions imposed by the United States and Great Britain in relation to the Moldovan oligarchs who fled the country and are now remotely involved in destabilizing the constitutional order. Our relevant institutions are working to prevent the destabilization that these individuals are trying to cause, but we need to strengthen their capacities,” the official announced.
