Moldova's new government led by pro-Western economist Dorin Recean was sworn in Thursday after winning Parliament's approval, as the small former Soviet republic signaled a shift to security concerns amidRecean, a 48-year-old economist who served for a year as President Maia Sandu's defense and security adviser, was tapped by her last week as prime minister-designate after Natalia Gavrilita suddenly quit the position.
Moldova's cabinet will remain largely unchanged under Recean, with the foreign affairs, interior, and defense ministers retaining their posts. He told lawmakers Thursday that his main focus will be to introduce "discipline and order" in Moldova's institutions, breathe new life into the struggling economy and ensure peace and stability.
On Monday, Sandu held a news briefing in which she outlined an alleged plot by Moscow to overthrow her country's government using what she described as external saboteurs, to put the nation "at the disposal of Russia," and to derail its aspirations to one day join the EU. Since Russia invaded Ukraine last February, non-NATO member Moldova has faced a string of problems. These include a severe energy crisis after Moscow dramatically reduced gas supplies; skyrocketing inflation; several missiles that have traversed its skies from Russia's war next door, and a huge inflow of refugees fleeing the war.
