Moldova Prime Minister Resigns

Moldovan Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu resigned unexpectedly on Friday, plunging the small European Union candidate nation into a political crisis.

Munteanu, who had served since November 2025, gave no full explanation for his departure, which followed a series of scandals.

President Maia Sandu is expected to begin consultations with party leaders next week to nominate a new prime minister.

The resignation comes at a delicate time as Moldova navigates regional tensions and EU accession aspirations.
