Interim President changes make-up of Supreme Security Council

Interim President and Speaker Mihai Ghimpu signed a decree today to change the make-up of the Supreme Security Council (SSC).

The SSC is an advisory body that informs the President about the national security situation in the country.

Between 2001 and 2009, the ruling Party of Communists was often accused by opposition parties and civil society activists of using the SSC to maintain control over state institutions. The ruling Alliance for European Integration has promised to de-politicize state institutions.

The new council no longer includes representatives from the Anti-Corruption Center and the National Bank.
