Save Romania Union (USR) leader Dan Barna considers that the invalidation of Andrei Nastase's mandate who won the elections for Chisinau's Mayor's Office shows "what can happen when corruption rules in a state."
The court had not confirmed on Tuesday evening the legality of the local snap elections in Chisinau for the position of Mayor, carried out in two ballots, on 20 May and 3 June and Andrei Nastase's mandate, the winner of the poll, was not validated, the press in Chisinau reports.
Andrei Nastase, quoted by deschide.md (open.md), stated that Tuesday's decision is "arbitrary" and will contest it within the legal 24-hour time frame at the Court of Appeal.
The second round of the snap elections for the position of Chisinau's Mayor took place on 3 June, pro-European Andrei Nastase obtaining 52.57 percent of the votes, outrunning his opponent, the socialist Ion Ceban, who received 47.43 percent of the votes.
