The Moldovan government led by Prime Minister Vasile Tofan received a vote of confidence from parliament

The Moldovan government, led by newly elected Prime Minister Vasile Tofan, has received a vote of confidence from parliament — it was approved by 53 deputies from the ruling “Action” and Solidarity party.

NewsMaker writes about this.

Tofan stated that the new government has five priorities, namely:

• economic development;
• accession to the EU;
• optimization of the state system;
• strengthening security;
• improving the quality of life for citizens.

Tofan previously said that he did not consider his appointment an achievement, but rather a "great responsibility".

On July 3, former Moldovan Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu reported his resignation. This happened against the backdrop of a series of corruption scandals in the country. Subsequently, President Maia Sandu nominated businessman Vasile Tofan as a candidate for the post of prime minister. Already on July 18, Tofan presented his team.
