“It’s a pity that only a year after electing the head of state, we are facing again a political crisis,” said acting Prime Minister Vlad Filat, specifying that this crisis has nothing to do with the way the President fulfills his duty. According to him, Nicolae Timofti is a professional who obeys the constitutional norm and does not yield to the whims of politicians or other groups of interests, Info-Prim Neo reports. “First of all, I want to thank the head of state for this year. I do not want even to imagine what could have happened in Moldova if the President hadn’t been elected,” Vlad Filat said in a press briefing. Nicolae Timofti was elected President of Moldova on March 16, 2012.
