Prime Minister Ion Chicu hinted at a possible imminent resignation of the Cabinet with the aim of dissolving parliament and holding snap elections in Moldova.
While speaking following the Tuesday government meeting, which considered about 80 issues, Ion Chicu noted that there is a high probability that this is the last meeting of the Cabinet in its current composition, given the parliament’s upcoming consideration of the vote of no confidence in the government on Wednesday, as well as the goal to achieve an early dissolution of the current parliament, which "has discredited itself completely, has become a disgrace for many, does not represent the people now and must quickly be dissolved and go down in history." Ion Chicu said he would hold discussions on Wednesday with the Speaker of Parliament, the incumbent President and the President-elect to talk over with them the possibility of dissolving parliament. “When it is clear how to dissolve the parliament, we will come up with a statement. But now I can say that there is a high probability that this meeting of the government was the last one in its current composition,” Prime Minister said. Moldova’s President-elect, Maia Sandu, during a conversation with Prime Minister Ion Chicu, announced the need to resign the government to hold snap elections and approve a new Cabinet. She told Ion Chicu that Moldova needs a different parliament and a different government, and the resignation of the government is the shortest path to this goal. In turn, Prime Minister said that he fully shares the opinion that this parliament must be urgently dissolved. // 22.12.2020 - InfoMarket.
