The Alliance for European Integration, the ruling coalition led by Vlad Filat, was voted out of office on March 5 by communist, democrat and independent MPs, who backed a motion of no confidence.
For the daily, the motion, which secured the support of 54 of the 101 members of Moldova’s parliament, ”will only serve the interests of Moscow,” which is seeking to distance the country from the EU.
Timpul also wonders if Filat is not about “to face the same fate as Ukrainian former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko,” who has been imprisoned by the current government in Kiev on charges of corruption.
