Moldovan Socialist Party wants to launch a vote of no confidence in the government

Against the background of the ongoing crisis in the energy sector, the Party of Socialists of Moldova (PSRM) has announced the initiation of a vote of no confidence in the government. This was announced by the socialist party in its Telegram channel on Friday, November 29.

"In recent months, we have witnessed the failed policies of the cabinet, which led to another increase in energy tariffs. These decisions have caused an increase in inflation, exacerbate socio-economic instability and will inevitably lead to further price increases for goods and services," the statement said.

PSRM initiates the resignation of the government, considering it necessary to hold early parliamentary elections to overcome the political crisis. The political force calls on all MPs to support this initiative, emphasizing that only a new government, trusted by the population, will be able to ensure stability and development of the country.

Earlier, on November 28, Moldova's Constitutional Court (CC) confirmed the results of the presidential election and recognized Maia Sandu's mandate for the next four years. Sandu's inauguration ceremony is scheduled for December 24.

On November 4, it became known that Sandu won the presidential election with 55.33% of votes. Voting was held in two rounds, as in the first round on October 20, none of the 11 candidates passed the 50% threshold. During the second round on November 3 , 141 violations were recorded.

On 5 November, the Victory bloc announced that it would challenge the results of the presidential election. The statement stated that Sandu achieved the desired result only due to fraud at European polling stations and massive violations. It noted the inequality of voting conditions for diasporas from Russia and Western countries. Also, the Party of Communists of Moldova did not recognize the legitimacy of Sandu's power. The Moldovan Party of Socialists also refused to recognize the voting results.
