There are only two legal ways to launch the parliament’s dissolution and snap parliamentary elections; one of them is the government’s resignation. In these conditions, today I suggested to come up with the decision of resignation of the prime minister and, implicitly, of Moldova’s government. So that, this procedure can be started as soon as possible,’’ Ion Chicu said.

Once these laws approved, the machine of the state system will be able to work; salaries, pensions, other social benefits, etc. could be paid.’’
Ion Chicu expressed confidence that today he would have a meeting with the president-elect, in order to discuss the acting government’s work in continuation, so that the functioning of the state institutions and the country, in general, can be ensured.
