Moldova’s Ambassador to U.S. abused his authority, minister

Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Iurie Leanca considers Ambassador to the U.S. Igor Munteanu abused his power when he said that the President of Moldova will be elected in the middle of February, while the Constitution is to be amended over the next two years, Info-Prim Neo reports. ”As far as I know, it wasn’t a statement, but declarations during a hearing at the Helsinki Committee of the U.S. Congress. He spoke about the Transnistrian conflict and the political situation in the country,” Iurie Leanca told the journalists during an event. He also said that it was not for the first time that the Ambassador made such statements. “The way the ambassadors make declarations officially or to state their own opinion is to be regulated. Other foreign ministries have such regulations,” said the minister. He stressed that the incidents involving the Moldovan ambassadors show there is a problem that should be dealt with.
