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.
