“I accepted the responsibility of serving as Prime Minister with a deep sense of duty and the firm conviction that I could help bring about positive change,” Munteanu wrote. “The moment I realized that I could no longer carry out my mandate in accordance with my principles and convictions, I chose to step down.”
He thanked his colleagues, adding that he will continue to serve his country from whatever position he may hold, “regardless of where [he lives] or whether [his] future responsibilities are in the public or private sector.”
“I believe that our duty to our country is not defined by the office we hold, but by the commitment we continue to uphold, “ he said.
His departure comes days after the Moldavian Air Traffic Services Authority (MoldATSA) controversy triggered a political crisis amid allegations of appointments and governance at the state-owned enterprise. It prompted President Maia Sandu to promise a “general cleanup.”
On Thursday, Moldova’s parliament established a special investigative committee to examine the management of state-owned companies. The panel will review recruitment procedures for senior positions, the composition of boards of directors, and cases in which individuals hold multiple posts across public institutions.
