Maia Sandu: We are Ready for Early Elections

The head of the Moldovan government does not intend to abandon the decision approved yesterday to take responsibility for amending the Law on the Prosecutor's Office and will not comply with the request of the socialists for the resignation of the Minister of Justice. If PSRM continues to insist on these conditions and destroys the ruling coalition, there will be early elections, but, according to Sandu, the ACUM bloc is ready for this scenario, tv8.md reports. “I do not understand why Ms. Stamate should resign. It was a common solution I supported. We are ready for early elections, if that will lead us to fair justice and we still believe that this reform is the most important. The fortunes of the country in the coming years depends on how we manage to advance in this reform,” said Maia Sandu. The head of government also noted that in the parliament some MPs are frightened by the reform of justice: “Many in parliament are afraid of an honest prosecutor. When discussing a vote of no confidence, we will see who is afraid of justice reform. Let them go public.” Maia Sandu also stated that she did not intend to destroy the coalition with the PSRM, but her intervention was necessary to ensure that “the election of the Prosecutor General is successful and is an important element of the reform.” “It is not a game. This is our main mission,” the prime minister said. Maia Sandu also turned to Igor Dodon, advising him to “talk with the people who voted for him and ask them if they would like the Prosecutor General to put things in order in justice.” Point
