Ruling Alliance to restructure Interior Ministry

Veaceaslav Untila, deputy head of the Moldova Noastra [Our Moldova] Alliance, one of the four parties making up the new ruling Alliance for European Integration (AEI), told JurnalTV that AEI plans to reform the Interior Ministry by making "a lot of changes." Some of these changes would include transferring municipal police from central to local jurisdiction.

Interior Minister Gheorghe Papuc has been criticized for being partly responsible for the repression that followed after mass disorders on April 7, and has often been in direct conflict with some opposition leaders like Vitalie Nagacevschi.
