Moldova's Prime Minister Munteanu steps down
The resignation deepens pressure on Maia Sandu’s pro-European government as corruption allegations and tensions over Transnistria fuel calls for a swift new cabinet.
- On Friday, Moldovan Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu announced his resignation, triggering the collapse of his government. He wrote that he could "no longer carry out my mandate in accordance with my principles and convictions."
- A former World Bank economist, Munteanu had led Moldova since November 2025 following the Party of Action and Solidarity victory, pledging to prioritize "EU, peace, and growth."
- His departure follows rising tensions with Moscow over Transnistria; last month, Munteanu criticized Vladimir Putin's decree simplifying Russian citizenship for residents, calling it "the passport of an aggressor state."
- The resignation places immediate pressure on President Maia Sandu and the Party of Action and Solidarity during their second consecutive term. Sandu must consult with parliamentary groups to nominate a new candidate.
- Despite stepping down, Munteanu expressed his intent to "continue to serve regardless of where I live or whether my future responsibilities are in the public or private sector," thanking his ministers for their work.
