The congratulatory message to the Moldovan people on the night between years will be given by the Head of Parliament if the President is not elected by then. Contacted by Info-Prim Neo, independent expert Vitalie Catana expressed his conviction that a new Speaker will be elected by New Year's Eve, who will act as head of state on a temporary basis. “The Head of Parliament is elected by a simple majority of votes. I think there will be no difficulties in electing a person to this post,” said the expert. Under the PLDM's offer for forming a center-right coalition, the Head of Parliament is to be designated by the Liberal Party (PL). The PCRM's offer for creating a center-right alliance has not been yet made public. Last year, the congratulatory message was delivered by Acting President Mihai Ghimpu, the leader of the PL.
