Moldova's Prime Minister has spoken for the first time about his unexpected resignation
On July 6, Moldovan Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu commented for the first time on his decision to step down following his high-profile resignation. The head of government did not disclose the reasons for his decision, but stated that he intends to continue his political career and is ready for new challenges.
According to Munteanu, he will continue to fulfill all his duties until a new government is appointed.
“I understand that people are expecting a scandal. I tried not to look at social media, but judging by what those who did look at it told me, 90% of the rumors circulating online are untrue. It’s all much more complicated,” the prime minister said cryptically.
According to Munteanu, only time will set the record straight. The head of government also assured that his conscience is “absolutely clear.”
“I did what I had to do, and now I continue to fulfill my duty. I am ensuring a smooth and professional transition,” the prime minister noted.
He also reminded everyone that Moldova is currently at a crucial historical juncture. That is precisely why the government cannot afford political instability or institutional deadlocks.
As Munteanu noted, this primarily concerns European integration.
“We cannot afford to deviate from our course or create controversial situations,” he emphasized.
Journalists asked Moldova’s current prime minister about his plans for the future after leaving the government. Munteanu admitted that he will focus on a number of cultural and academic projects, according to Realitatea.
Earlier, Dodon called for early elections following the Moldovan prime minister’s resignation.
As a reminder, Moldova has seen a sudden change in its head of government.
