Ruling Alliance elects three deputy Speakers, committee heads

The ruling Alliance for European Integration elected three deputy Speakers today. Serafim Urechean, head of the Moldova Noastra [Our Moldova] Alliance, will be first deputy Speaker.

Marcel Raducan (Democratic Party) and Iurie Tap (Liberal Democratic Party) will also be deputy Speakers.

The Party of Communists was supposed to appoint a deputy Speaker, as well, but asked for a break to decide whom to nominate. Later, Communist M.P. Vadim Misin said he was not certain whether the Communist would accept to fill that position.

The legislature also decided on the make-up of the permanent Parliamentary Bureau, which will have 13 members.

Nine legislative committees have also been formed, five of which will be headed by Alliance members, and four by the Communists.
