Following discussions with parliamentary factions and based on the goals and priorities of the Republic of Moldova, I have decided to nominate Vasile Tofta as a candidate for Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova. The statement was made during a joint briefing with Tofta and Igor Grosu, Chairman of Parliament and leader of the ruling PSD.
Consensus
- President Maia Sandu nominated Vasile Tofan as a candidate for Prime Minister of Moldova.
- The position became vacant on July 3, 2025, after Alexander Munteanu announced his resignation.
- Munteanu stated he resigned because he could no longer fulfill his duties in accordance with his principles and beliefs.
- Tofan is a co-founder of the civil movement 'Europe-2028' and an investor at Horizon Capital, managing $2 billion in assets.
- The ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) proposed Tofan's candidacy.
- Parliament must vote to confirm Tofan as Prime Minister.
Points of divergence
- Tofan described the role of Prime Minister as a great responsibility rather than an achievement, and stated his initial focus would be on restoring public trust in state authorities and restarting the economy. — vedomosti
- Tofan previously published a post on social media describing his vision for changes in Moldova, citing Argentine President Javier Milei as an example of a leader with bold economic reforms, though he later clarified that such reforms are not necessary for Moldova. — vedomosti
- The publication claims the parliamentary vote on Tofan's candidacy can be considered a formality. — vedomosti
- Sandu made her announcement during a joint briefing with Tofan and Iгорь Гросу, leader of PAS and speaker of parliament. — vesti
