The Councils of People's Deputies will be able to defend citizens in courts of general jurisdiction

The initiative of the deputies of the Supreme Council was considered on the 24th of March in the course of the meeting of the Committee on Regional Policy, Local Self-Government and Housing and Public Utilities. The proposed amendments to the Law of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic "On local authorities, local self-government and state administration in the PMR" will allow local Councils of People's Deputies to apply to the courts of general jurisdiction to protect the rights and interests of citizens. This practice already existed previously, but it was excluded from the legislation at some point. Not all citizens can apply to the court on their own due to the complexity of legal issues currently. Protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens is a constitutional duty of local self-government bodies.

The Profile Committee supported the law-in-draft and recommended it for adoption in the second reading at the plenary session of the Supreme Council of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic.
