Chisinau. Moldova's Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu said on Friday he was stepping down, in a surprise announcement that also triggers the resignation of the government.
Munteanu, who has served as prime minister of the European Union candidate nation since November 2025, gave no full explanation for his decision.
It comes amid an outcry in Moldova, one of Europe's poorest countries, following recent media reports about overly high salaries at MoldATSA, the state agency on airspace security, and other state-owned companies.
