Dissolution of Parliament
( Inkraft seit 2000-07-28 )(1) In case of impossibility to form the Government or to block the procedure of adopting the laws for 3 months, the President of the Republic of Moldova, after consulting the parliamentary factions, may dissolve the Parliament.
(2) The Parliament may be dissolved, if it has not accepted the vote of confidence for the formation of the Government within 45 days from the first request and only after the rejection of at least two requests for investiture.
(3) Parliament may be dissolved only once in a year.
(4) The Parliament cannot be dissolved in the last 6 months of the mandate of the President of the Republic of Moldova, except for the case provided in art. 78 para. (5), nor during the state of emergency, siege or war.
Stand:
2021-04-10
This article shall avoid longer periods without a working parliament.
Some things, like the exact time (3 months = 90 days?), under what conditions parliament can declare the state of emergency and whether the president can or must dissolve parliament, are not so clear.
This led already to some troubles and in 2019 even to a situation close to a civil war!
However, it seems that the political parties and the presidents, etc. spend perhaps too much time in fighting about a possible dissolution of the parliament.
At the end of the day: If you do not have a stable majority in parliament you do not have a stable government.
Hopefully the Constitutional Court will bring more light to these questions with some wise and well reasoned decisions soon!
