Alliance leaders comment on President Vladimir Voronin's resignation

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."
