Moldova has entered a political transition after Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu resigned, triggering the resignation of the government after less than a year in office.
President Maia Sandu said Munteanu will remain in a caretaker role until a new prime minister is appointed. Parliamentary consultations are expected to begin next week before a successor is nominated.
Key developments:
- Munteanu said he resigned after concluding he could no longer fulfil his mandate in line with his principles.
- Sandu rejected suggestions that his government had been prevented from taking action, saying he had full authority to lead.
- A parliamentary committee has begun investigating governance and recruitment practices at state-owned companies following recent public scrutiny.
Moldova, an EU candidate country, continues to pursue European integration while navigating domestic political challenges.
