Moldovan parliament approves appointment of Liuba Sova, Nicolae Rosca as Constitutional Court judges

The parliament has approved the appointment of Liuba Sova and Nicolae Rosca as judges of the Constitutional Court. Their candidacies were supported by the parliamentary majority and criticized by the opposition, which called for the withdrawal of the decisions on appointment.

Both magistrates will continue working at the Court, being in their second term.

Liuba Sova is a jurist with a teaching career of over 20 years at the Department of Constitutional and Administrative Law of the Law Faculty of the State University of Moldova. Since 2019, she has served as a judge of the Constitutional Court.

Nicolae Rosca has been a constitutional judge since 2019 as well. A PhD in law and university lecturer, he has over three decades of academic experience. Between 2016 and 2019, Rosca led the Private Law Department at the same law faculty.

The appointments come in the context that, on August 16, 2025, the terms of five of the six current members of the Constitutional Court will expire. According to constitutional provisions, two judges are appointed by parliament, two - by the government, and two - by the Superior Council of Magistracy.
