In the current situation, when Dorin Chirtoaca vacated the seat of mayor, the Chisinau Municipal Council (CMC) should come together and name an acting mayor for the period until the early mayoral elections, said invitees of the talk show “Expertise hour” produced by Jurnal TV channel, IPN reports.

Deputy chairman of the Liberal Party Valeriu Munteanu said that if Nistor Grozavu signs one more order to name the acting mayor, this will be as illegal as the one signed last November. “It is impossible. This is beyond imagination,” he stated, noting the Democratic Party and the Party of Socialists will do their best for Silvia Radu to remain in the post and help organize the elections.

Ilian Casu, deputy chairman of the Political Party “Our Party”, noted Nistor Grozavu is no longer in the legal context of last November, when he named Silvia Radu acting mayor. “Now only the CMC can appoint a person from inside or outside as acting mayor, who would serve until May 20 this year,” stated Ilian Casu.

Socialist MP Grigore Novac said the early local mayoral elections favor the citizens of the municipality of Chisinau as these are a chance of bringing things in order at the City Hall, while Silvia Radu holds the post of acing mayor legally.
