Moldovan Prime Minister surprisingly resigns

The Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova, Alexandru Munteanu, has unexpectedly resigned, citing his inability to continue serving in accordance with his principles and beliefs. His resignation comes amid a corruption scandal involving the state aviation authority MoldATSA, which has severely damaged the image of his governing party, PAS. The scandal was uncovered by the investigative outlet Ziarul de Garda, which revealed that the former head of MoldATSA, Dumitru Vangheli, had falsified much of his professional experience. Additionally, President Maia Sandu faced criticism after it emerged that her cousin, Anastasia Taburceanu, was employed as a spokesperson at MoldATSA and received a high salary of over €6,000 per month. Sandu announced plans to hold talks with parliamentary factions in the coming week to quickly appoint a new prime minister.
