The designated candidate for the position of Prime Minister, Vasile Tofan, announces that he has concluded consultations with the 16 interim ministers and that he has a clearer picture of the situation in each field. He asked the ministers to present their priorities for the next 12 months, the main issues and blockages, as well as the necessary interventions for accelerating processes, reports IPN.
During the discussions, the ministers presented information about human resources, budgets, and subordinate institutions, obligations related to European integration, as well as measures for reducing administrative costs and streamlining the Government’s activities.
“I now have a much clearer picture of the situation in each field: where there are solid teams and projects, where we need to accelerate, where there are blockages and where adjustments are needed,” said Vasile Tofan.
The designated candidate stated that the next stage aims at finalizing the composition of the governmental team, as well as consultations with political parties and representatives from various fields for the elaboration of the government program.
Vasile Tofan has been appointed as the prime ministerial candidate by President Maia Sandu, at the proposal of the Action and Solidarity Party, following the resignation of Alexandru Munteanu. After finalizing the list of ministers and the government program, he is set to seek the confidence vote of the Parliament for the inauguration of the new executive.
