and PAS finally reached an agreement with the Socialist party. This agreement allowed Sandu to form the government, and the leader of the parliamentary fractions of the socialists, Zinaida Greceanîi, would become the speaker. This would be one day later than the 90 days deadline but before the three month deadline expires. As a result, Dodon refused to intervene to dissolve the parliament. The Democratic party was left out, and the Democratic deputy, Sergiu Sîrbu, filed a request to the Constitutional Court to dismiss Dodon for his inability to dissolve the government. The court, which is considered to be under influence by the Democratic Party, on Sunday 9 June agreed to the request, dismissing Dodon and appointing Filip acting president. Filip dissolved the parliament and announced that early elections would be held on 6 September. The coalition called the decision of Filip illegal. On June 8, supporters of the Democratic Party started to install tents in Chișinău. On June 14, Filip decided to step down from the government for 'political stability', but demanded a snap election and refused to recognize Sandu’s government as legal. The move didn't address the presidential status of Dodon. On June 15, the Constitutional Court repealed the decisions, judgements and opinions which had triggered the crisis. It was also reported that the leader of the Democratic Party Vladimir Plahotniuc fled the country on a private jet the day before. He claimed that he had left "for a few days" in order to visit his family. On June 20, the President of the Constitutional Court, Mihai Poalelungi, resigned from office. Later, on June 26, the entire group of constitutional court judges announced their resignations as well. This move was welcomed by the now undisputed President and Prime Minister (Dodon and Sandu), who stated that through mass resignations and electing new independent judges will the integrity of the Constitutional Court be restored.
