ocialists refuse to support the Munteanu Government and demand fewer ministries

The deputies of the Socialist Party refuse to vote for the investiture of the cabinet of ministers led by the designated candidate, Alexandru Munteanu. At the same time, the PSRM faction believes that the Government structure contains an exaggerated number of ministries in the current economic conditions, reports IPN.

“We, as the largest opposition faction and with experience in governance, have told the candidate as well – the number of 17 members of the Government is too large. We cannot afford so many ministries. Maybe not at this stage, but later, the number of ministries should be reduced to a maximum of 8-10”, said Igor Dodon after consultations with the designated Prime Minister.

The former president also criticized the emphasis placed by the designated prime minister in the government program, noting that the economic and social sectors were treated superficially. According to him, the PSRM faction will not support the Munteanu Government nor the proposed activity program.

“Being in opposition, we cannot assume political responsibility for a Government promoted by the parliamentary majority. However, we are ready to come up with concrete proposals for improving the situation in the country. Even if we are in opposition, if we can contribute to improving people’s lives, we will do it”, declared the leader of the PSRM.



The designated Prime Minister Vasile Tofan aims to build a closer relationship with UTA Gagauzia and asserts that he understands its issues from the experience gained over approximately 15 years of activity in the viticulture sector, including in the region. He believes that the upcoming elections in Gagauzia should contribute to bringing the region closer to the central authorities and to strengthening stability. The statement was made during the Parliament session, where the future executive’s governance program is presented, reports IPN.

Vasile Tofan stated that, recently, Gagauzia has fallen “into the hands of people who do not wish well for the Republic of Moldova”, mentioning the fugitive Ilan Shor. “I very much hope in the wisdom of the Gagauz people and in their ability to understand that such people do not wish well for the Gagauz. Their goals are different: geopolitical objectives and destabilizing the situation”, declared the appointed prime minister.

The designated Prime Minister emphasized that the authorities must gradually restore order, specifying that Gagauzia is part of the Republic of Moldova and must respect national legislation.

At the same time, Vasile Tofan stated that he sees UTA Gagauzia as an important partner in developing economic relations with Turkey, appreciating that the region can contribute to the expansion of exports and attracting investments from this country.
