Chisinau, 18 october /MOLDPRES/- Leader of the Party of Socialists (PSRM), former President of the Republic of Moldova Igor Dodon announced his resignation from the position of deputy. The statement was made today during a press briefing.
"In two months, on December 18, the PSRM congress will take place. Ten years ago I became leader of the Socialist Party - in ten years I and my team have secured all possible political victories. Today I had the meeting of the political executive of the party and I want to announce about two important decisions: first, at the next congress to eliminate the position of president, and the party to be led by a collegial body. And two - I refuse the mandate of deputy of the Republic of Moldova. I do not see the point in being in this Parliament. A request will be sent to the secretariat in the coming days. I decided not to be tied to the parliamentary agenda, to be more and more active in the villages, closer to the citizens ", said Dodon.
