President Igor Dodon does not rule out that early parliamentary elections might be held this year. In his opinion, the probability is 20-30%. The president refused to say whether the Democrats will receive the post of speaker or prime minister, according to the agreement signed between PDM and PSRM, agora.md writes. "The agreement says that after the end of the presidential election, PDM will receive the post of speaker or prime minister. The decision will be made after the presidential election, and not before. The possibility of early parliamentary elections along with the presidential election should not be excluded. I give 20-30% chance of early parliamentary elections," Igor Dodon said in an interview for unimedia.info. At the same time, the head of state assured that the presidential election will be held this year. "They won't be postponed for next year and will be held in accordance with the current procedure, by direct voting of citizens, and not by amending the Constitution. According to the law, the presidential election will be held between October 23 and November 23," the president said. Recall that on March 16, socialists and democrats signed an agreement on the parliamentary majority formation. The Democratic Party received five portfolios in the Chicu government. At the same time, it was decided that after the presidential election, the Democrats will take the lead of the parliament or government.
