Prime Minister designate presents his cabinet's program, Parliament to vote on it tomorrow

Prime Minister designate Vlad Filat presented his cabinet and governmental program today, entitled "European Integration: Liberty, Democracy, and Wealth."

The program has five priorities: European integration, the country's reintegration [Imedia: a reference to the reunification of the territory controlled by Moldovan authorities with the separatist republic of Transnistria], the supremacy of the rule of law, overcoming the financial-economic crisis and the provision of inclusive economic growth, and the decentralization of power and an increase in local autonomy.

Parliament will vote on the program tomorrow. It is very likely that Mr. Filat will be officially elected as Prime Minister since the ruling Alliance for European Integration, of which he is a member, has a majority of 53 out of 101 seats in the legislature.
