PSRM Will Appeal to the Constitutional Court and Nominate Another PM Candidate

The socialists intend to appeal to the Constitutional Court today regarding the legitimacy of Maia Sandu's decision to nominate Igor Grosu to the post of prime minister. At the same time, tomorrow, March 18, the parliamentary majority will nominate another candidate for the post of head of government. "This is a good candidate, a professional who will manage the crisis," socialist Vlad Batrincea said at today's press briefing. When asked whether the former Prime Minister Ion Chicu was this candidate, the socialist replied no. Recall that Maia Sandu nominated Igor Grosu to the post of head of government after March 16 consultations with parliamentary factions. Socialist leader Igor Dodon said that PSRM would not support Igor Grosu's candidacy for the post of prime minister. It is also worth noting that Mariana Durlesteanu, nominated by the PSRM for the post of Prime Minister, announced that she was withdrawing her candidacy.
