The leaders of
the pro-European parties in Chisinau, the Liberal-Democrat Vlad Filat, the
Democrat Marian Lupu and the Liberal Mihai Ghimpu, on Thursday signed an
agreement to create a new ruling coalition in the Republic of Moldova, the
Alliance for European Integration. On Tuesday night, the parties had already
agreed that the country’s prime minister would be a member of the Liberal
Democratic Party, and the speaker of Parliament a member of the Democratic
Party.




This is a good
and fair political agreement that will ensure a stable parliamentary majority
in the Republic of Moldova and appoint a cabinet as soon as possible, said the
leader of the Liberal Democrats, Vlad Filat. He emphasised that the three
parties agreed to carry out profound reforms, including depoliticising state
institutions. Vlad Filat:




We all agreed
to carry out deep reforms, including with respect to state institutions.
Parliament will next meet to approve the government, so that the Republic of
Moldova could have a government by the end of July.




The signing of
the agreement to create the Alliance for European Integration is tantamount to
the continuation of Moldova’s efforts to join the European Union, the Liberal
leader Mihai Ghimpu also emphasised:




The signing of
this agreement is in fact a guarantee for staying on course for European
integration, without which the Republic of Moldova and we, its citizens, do not
have a future.




Speaking about
the fight against corruption, Mihai Ghimpu said the European Union agreed to
send expert missions to Chisinau to help with the reform of the country’s
judiciary as part of institutions such as the interior ministry, the general
prosecutor’s office and the National Anticorruption Centre.




The new
coalition is the only acceptable solution for the future development of the
Republic of Moldova, the leader of the Liberal Party, Marian Lupu, said:




The alliance we
have created aims to strengthen the country in the face of challenges. It is
the only possible solution for our country.




The person proposed to take over the position of prime
minister is Maia Sandu, the incumbent education minister. A graduate of the
management faculty of the Academy of Economic Studies in Chisinau and with
training in international relations at the Academy of Public Administration,
Maia Sandu also has a master’s degree in public administration from Harvard and
worked as an advisor to the World Bank executive director. For the last month
and a half, the Moldovan cabinet has been run by Natalia Gherman, with the
parliamentary support of the communists, following the resignation of prime
minister Chiril Gaburici amidst an investigation into allegations that he forged
his baccalaureate degree.
