Speaker: Moldova will have a Government by the end of September

Newly-elected Speaker Mihai Ghimpu said during a talkshow on JurnalTV that Moldova will have a Government by the end of September or even earlier.

Mr. Ghimpu denied that Moldova Noastra [Our Moldova] Alliance head Serafim Urechean will be General Prosecutor because "he does not have legal training and there were no talks about this within the Alliance." Moldova Noastra is the smallest member of the Alliance for European Integration and has not gotten one of the three main leadership seats in the country - the President, the Prime Minister, or the Speaker positions.

Earlier, Alliance representatives said that the Liberal Democratic Party would nominate a Prime Ministers, and that the Democrats would run a presidential candidate. The Liberals have gotten the Speaker position since Mr. Ghimpu heads that party.
