Despite fears of a possible Russian coup, the Moldovan parliament approved pro-Western Prime Minister Dorin Recean and his proposed cabinet. This is reported by the Moldovan edition of NewsMaker..
62 legislators voted for the appointment of a new cabinet: all from the Action and Solidarity Party (PAS) parliamentary faction, which was founded by President Maia Sandu.
Sandu's party has a confident majority: 63 out of 101 seats in the Moldovan Parliament. The parliamentary opposition did not vote for the new government. And the Russia-friendly Shor party boycotted the meeting.
Dorin Recean is a well-known pro-European figure who replaced Natalia Gavrilitsa, whose government resigned after 18 months of work.
Rechan was Minister of the Interior from 2012 to 2015. Before he was appointed prime minister, he was Sandu's defense and security adviser..
Earlier this week, Maia Sandu announced a possible Russian plan to destabilize Moldova. According to the president, this plan involved the overthrow of the leadership of Moldova, stopping the country's accession to the EU and using it in the war against Ukraine..
