Moldova’s appointee for Defense Minister in may set off a clash between ruling coalition and Preside
Ultimately the dispute may be referred to Moldova’s Constitutional Court for settlement to avoid fireworks between the President and Cabinet
Settlement of the dispute in Moldova must begin with changes in the governmental structure. This should include a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet, such as that of Finland, plus a committee-type legislature like that of Switzerland. The heads of the major governmental branches should all be popularly elected and the speaker of the parliament should also serve as prime minister or a minister, allowing the people to select a defense specialist as Minister of Defense. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
