Government reshuffles at the forefront of political discussions
The topic of government reshuffles is currently at the forefront of political discussions. Consultations with various parties, including those outside of Parliament, are scheduled to take place on Monday. Moldova 1 TV interviewed deputies to gather their opinions on which ministers should be replaced. While the opposition is calling for the resignation of the entire Cabinet, some MPs are focusing on potential reshuffles in key areas such as justice and home affairs.
The Parliament Speaker, Igor Grosu, noted that the idea of incorporating members from other parties into the government is also being considered. "We are discussing this matter, and there will be political consultations with parliamentary parties. We will analyze all the proposals, and ultimately, a decision will be made and accepted politically," said Grosu.
Adrian Belîi, a deputy from the ruling party PAS, commented, "We are mainly discussing justice, which is a significant topic, as well as certain activities within the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture. However, this doesn't necessarily indicate a final decision; these are just preliminary discussions at this stage."
Adrian Albu from the BCS party believes that changes to the government structure may be insignificant but mentioned potential candidates who could face reshuffles. "I personally think that only two or three ministers will be 'sacrificed,' as analyst Boris Negru said. We know there will be a vacancy after Mr. Spînu, and Mr. Bolea is expected to fill that role. The Ministry of Agriculture is under close scrutiny as they are uncertain about whom to appoint, which is where most of the reshuffles are anticipated," Albu commented.
Additionally, some MPs are advocating for the resignation of the entire Cabinet. "The only minister who should leave is Prime Minister Dorin Recean. The changes being discussed, or what the government will announce on Monday, are unlikely to result in substantial improvements," said Vasile Bolea, a non-affiliated deputy.
Prime Minister Dorin Recean announced that he would reveal the changes in the Cabinet of Ministers on Monday, November 18. This announcement follows President Maia Sandu's remarks during the election campaign, where she acknowledged having heard the "claims of the citizens" and stated that changes would be made within the governing team.
