Government crisis in the Republic of Moldova: the pro-European head of government Natalia Gavrilita (Party of Action and Solidarity – PAS) surprisingly resigned on Friday afternoon after a year and a half in office. Her resignation means the departure of her entire cabinet. Gavrilita was recently criticized for spiraling inflation and the country’s severe energy crisis.
The pro-European President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, approved Gavrilita’s resignation and announced immediate consultations with parliamentary groups to get the government mandate. She thanked Gavralita for her “tremendous sacrifices and efforts” to run the country “in times of so many crises”.
Successor will be announced soon
The Moldovan press expects a new head of government to be appointed soon. The favorite is former Sandus security adviser Dorin Recean. The 48-year-old presidential advisor is also acting secretary general of the country’s Supreme Security Council. In Chisinau’s parliament, the PAS party, founded by President Sandu, has a comfortable majority (63 out of 101 seats), which means that the confirmation of a new head of government and his executive should be easy.
The background to the change of government in Chisinau is still unclear, especially as PAS MP Radu Marian only announced a cabinet reshuffle in the morning, but it is likely linked to Russia’s war of aggression in neighboring Ukraine and repeated threats from the Kremlin on the side from Chisinau. Moldavia.
Selenskyj warned of Russian intervention
The day before the special EU summit in Brussels, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russia was planning to take over the Republic of Moldova. There is a detailed Russian plan to disrupt the political situation in Moldova and the Ukrainian secret service has intercepted information that it has already informed the Moldovan president. The Russian document shows who, when and how, wants to destroy the democratic order in Moldova and establish control over the country, Zelenskyy said.
