Let me, first of all, thank you for your kind letter on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of
the Venice Commission, and I congratulate you on your election as President of the
Constitutional Court of Moldova.
I thank you also for your letter informing me about the attacks against the Constitutional Court.
I take good note that the Statement of 28 April 2020 was signed by all Judges of the
Constitutional Court.
In a democratic country, all State institutions and office holders have to respect their own
prerogatives, obligations and competences and acknowledge and respect those of the other
institutions. They have to exercise appropriate institutional restraint, observe the relevant
procedures in good faith and display respect for each other.
If this is not done, if there lacks democratic culture and maturity, the functioning of the state
institutions is compromised and the democratic, civil and economic progress of the society is
jeopardised.
I can only echo the Statement by the Judges of the Constitutional Court for calmness, mutual
respect, constructive dialogue and goodwill. I can assure you that I am following the situation
in the Republic of Moldova closely.
Yours sincerely,
Gianni Buquicchio
Cu respect,
