“We’ll move on to the list once we’ve decided on a candidate. Obviously, the candidate himself has a say in shaping the list, but personally, I don’t foresee any major changes in the government team. Most are doing their jobs well, and we must ensure this institutional memory and continuity, especially with regard to the European integration agenda,” he said on RLive.
Speaking about the profile of the future prime minister, Grosu emphasized that he will have to take responsibility for important measures, even if some of them are unpopular with the public.
“This must undoubtedly be a courageous person who will take on these unpopular reforms. I’ll say it again: 2026 is a decisive year in terms of implementing less popular reforms. We’re talking about public administration reform, fiscal and tax reform, the wage law, and other reforms that must be carried out. If we don’t implement them, the problem won’t be solved—it will merely be postponed,” the speaker noted.
Grosu also acknowledged that the presentation of the tax reform could have been organized better: “It wasn’t the most successful policy presentation; there are many sensitive issues. Although there is much that is good about this policy, perhaps the draft should have been presented a little better.”
At the same time, President Maia Sandu clarified that specific discussions regarding the prime minister’s nomination will begin only after official dialogue with the parliamentary parties. “Consultations with the parliamentary factions must take place first,” the head of state stated.
It should be noted that two parliamentary factions have already publicly announced that they will not participate in these consultations.
