Minister of Infrastructure Andrei Spinu announced his resignation as a voluntary first step in the government reshuffle announced by Sandu in response to public criticism of the executive branch.
Spinu also stepped down from the ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS). Since 2020, he has been a top adviser to Moldova’s President Maia Sandu.
His income declaration includes significant income from abroad: MDL 3.5 million (€175,000) out of MDL 4.1 million total income declared in 2023, according to Newsmaker. To explain his income, Spinu revealed that he deals with technical translation and admitted that his company has a turnover of several million dollars.
Sandu, who recently won his second term, announced last week that a staff reshuffle was imminent after promising such a move during the presidential campaign.
Economy Minister Dumitru Alaiba, Interior Minister Adrian Efros and Justice Minister Veronica Mihailov-Moraru will also be reshuffled, according to Moldovan media.
