Summary/Abstract: The victory of November 15, 2020, in the presidential elections of the Republic of Moldova of the main exponent of the opposition, the pro-European Maia Sandu, to the detriment of the leader of the ruling party, the pro-Russian Igor Dodon, anticipated for the political year 2021 a confrontation between the presidency and parliament which is numerically dominated by political forces descending from the oligarchic regime. These predictions came true. The Republic of Moldova has been for over three months in a political-institutional deadlock caused by disputes on the topic of early political elections. This deadlock is fuelled also by the inconveniences of the constitutional norm, which has directly involved the Constitutional Court, to whom the political forces and the presidency often appealed in the process of unblocking the political and institutional processes in the Republic of Moldova.
