For agora.md, the fact that Sandu has chosen a prime minister nor from her own party speaks volumes:
“PAS knows that the upcoming reforms will not bring popularity, but dissatisfaction. At a time when the government is in the middle of a reform process, the election of a technocrat from outside acts as a balancing factor: the party retains its political capital while the government bears the costs of the reforms. The Munteanu government will have a double mission: it must push through structural reforms that bring Moldova closer to the European economy, while at the same time attracting investments, and not just EU funds but private investments that generate added value.”
