The President of Moldova proposed to the post of new Prime Minister Zinaida Grechana President of Moldova Vladimir Voronin at today's meeting with the opposition parties of the Moldavian parliament, he proposed the candidacy of the first deputy prime minister Zinaida Grechana for the post of prime minister of the country. According to the source in the parliament, consultations of the President with representatives of the deputy opposition "were formal in nature, since the Communist faction in the legislative body has the required number of votes for independent decision on the vote of confidence in the new prime minister and its future government." The candidacy of Grechanan was discussed the day before at the suggestion of the president at a meeting of the Communist faction and approved. "Most likely, Greek and will become the new Prime Minister of Moldova," said RIA Novosti interlocutor.
According to the Law on the Government of Moldova, the president of the country after consultations with parliamentary factions puts forward a candidacy for the position of new prime minister. The candidate for the post of prime minister, within 15 days after the nomination, asks the parliament to express the vote of trust in the program of activity and the entire composition of his government. If he receives such a vote, the president appoints the government by his decree.
52-year-old Zinaida Greek can become the first woman in the history of Moldova in this post. A candidate for the premieres was born in the Tomsk region in Russia, graduated from the Chisinau financial and economic college and Chisinau State University. He managed the Main Directorate of the Development and Analysis of the Budget, the Department of Local Budgets of the Budget Department of the Ministry of Finance of Moldova, was the Minister of Finance of the Republic. Since 2005, Greek, being the first deputy prime minister of the Moldova Government, oversaw the issues of the macroeconomic bloc. He is the co-chair of the Moldovan-Russian intergovernmental commission on trade and economic cooperation.
Personnel changes in the Moldavian government are connected with the fact that the country's Prime Minister Vasily Tarlev yesterday at a government meeting announced that he resigned. The President of Moldova, who spoke at a government meeting, thanked the Prime Minister and the Cabinet of Ministers he headed for the work done, accepted the resignation of the prime minister and awarded him the highest order of the state - the "Order of the Republic." Today, the Moldavian parliament adopted 53 votes out of 101 by the resignation of the government of Vasily Tarlev.
Vladimir Voronin for the second time became president of Moldova on April 7, 2005. The term of his authority at the highest state post expires in April 2009. Logic suggests that yesterday’s government resignation is directly related to preparations for the beginning of the presidential election campaign. In particular, at a recent speech at the next congress of the Party of Communists of Moldova (PCRM), the leader of which is Voronin, the Moldavian president said that "one of the relevant tasks today for the PCRM is a personnel policy that should be based on continuity," the source said. At a press conference on the results of the Congress of PKRM, Voronin repeated this thought, adding that “new faces in the power structures” are needed.
