The Director of the National Agency for the Settlement of Appeals Anatolie Zagorodnîi was dismissed from office

Parliament approved on Thursday, September 16, with 56 votes the resignation request of the former democratic deputy Anatolie Zagorodnii from the position of director of the National Agency for the Settlement of Appeals. In July 2020, ZdG wrote that the Action and Solidarity Party deputy, Dumitru Alaiba, notified the Constitutional Court regarding the appointment of Anatolie Zagorodnii to the head of the National Agency for the Settlement of Appeals, for a term of 7 years. Dumitru Alaiba claimed that Zagorodnîi was appointed even though he did not have the necessary experience. The parliamentarian then demanded that the decision be declared unconstitutional, a notification which, however, was soon rejected by the Constitutional Court. Although Zagorodnîi was dismissed by the Parliament in July 2019, he returned on November 9, 2019. Zagorodnii was reinstated by the Chișinău Court of Justice that annulled the then decision of the Parliament.

Anatolie Zagorodnii is one of the 14 communist deputies who on December 21, 2015, announced their “detachment from the Communist Party” and the formation of the Social-Democratic Parliamentary Platform “For Moldova”. Subsequently, all 14 deputies joined the Democratic Party.
