Acting Moldovan President Mihai Ghimpu issued a decree establishing Soviet Occupation Day, commemorated on June 28. On that day in 1940 the USSR annexed Bessarabia, formerly part of Romania, to establish the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic within the USSR. Moldovan Communists believe the presidential decree has been issued ultra vires. The Russian Foreign Ministry called the decree “sacrilege.” The Moldovan ruling parliamentary coalition requested that Ghimpu annul his decree, but he refused. The issue may be considered by the Moldovan Constitutuional Court.
