Molodva's governing alliance: New Constitution, no new election
Leaders of the Alliance for European Integration (AEI) agreed on March 9 to have Parliament adopt a new Constitution. The new document will have to be adopted via a referendum by June 16, which would have been the deadline to dismiss the legislature according to the old Constitution because legislators failed to elect a president.
Liberal Party (LP) head Mihai Ghimpu, who is also Speaker and interim President, said after the AEI meeting that the adoption of a new Constitution will allow Chisinau to avoid early elections.
The former ruling Party of Communists (PC) has accused the Alliance of attempting to usurp power and announced it would organize a referendum of its own to give a no-confidence vote to the current Moldovan leadership.
