Constitutional Court: Mihai Ghimpu's appointment as interim President legal

The Party of Communists recently challenged the legality of Speaker Mihai Ghimpu's takeover as interim President after former President Vladimir Voronin announced his resignation.

The Constitutional Court rejected the challenge today, saying that Mr. Ghimpu's appointment was legal.

Interim President and Speaker Ghimpu has already signed two decrees cancelling the visa regime with Romania and nominating Liberal Democratic Party head Vlad Filat for the Prime Minister position.
