The current head of the General Finance Directorate, Olesea Psenitchi, and the advisor in the Mayor’s Office, Victor Pruteanu, are put forward for the positions of deputy mayors of the capital. The nominations were presented by Mayor Ion Ceban at the meeting of the Chisinau Municipal Council, reports IPN.
The Mayor proposed the inclusion on the agenda of the CMC meeting of the projects regarding the appointment of deputy mayors, alongside the projects aiming at the dismissal of Angela Cutasevici and Olga Ursu, who were elected deputies following the elections on September 28.
The issues were introduced on the agenda with the vote of 28 councilors. The Action and Solidarity Party faction voted against. Thus, the councilors are to examine the appointment of the two deputy mayors.
According to the legislation, the deputy mayor is elected at the proposal of the general mayor by the decision of the Municipal Council adopted with the vote of the majority of the elected councilors. If the draft decision on the election to the position of deputy mayor of the proposed candidacy is excluded from the agenda at two consecutive meetings by the CMC or does not meet the necessary number of votes at two consecutive meetings, the general mayor appoints the deputy mayor by order, which is brought to the attention of the Council.
