In compliance with an ordinance by interim general mayor Veaceslav Iordan, interim pretors (representatives of the general mayor in Chisinau’s districts) were appointed in three districts of the capital, Info-Prim Neo reports. Iordan announced on Monday, March 5, during the session of the City Hall, that he had signed the ordinance according to which Petru Budurin was appointed as interim pretor in Centru district, and Alexandru Gorea in Buiucani. Earlier, both of them held the positions of deputy pretors. Municipal councillor of the communist faction Reghina Apostolov was designated as interim pretor in Rascani district. The pretors of the five district offices in the capital were appointed in 2003 by the Chisinau Municipal Council (CMC), in compliance with the legislation in force. At that time, Centru district was headed by Leonid Bujor, Rascani district – by Elena Beleacov, Buiucani – by Valeriu Nemerenco, Ciocana – by Ion Gabura and Botanica – by Vladimir Guritenco. Leonid Bujor, who became MP in 2005, was replaced with the communist councillor Edward Iaroszewski, who, in short time, was dismissed. Afterwards, Elena Beleacov resigned and Valeriu Nemerenco was sacked by CMC.
