Acting President Vladimir Voronin resigned his post today. Speaker Mihai Ghimpu was appointed interim head of state.
Liberal Democratic Party head Vlad Filat said that Mr. Voronin will be a simple M.P. and will not get to be a head or a secretary of any legislative committee. "I wish him happy retirement," Mr. Filat added.
Moldova Noastra [Our Moldova] Alliance head Serafim Urechean noted that "the entire country will be celebrating today [Imedia: about Mr. Voronin's resignation]. Voronin should have come to Parliament to resign. But he acted like a vagabond."
