17 January 2011 ReutersCHISINAU, Moldova — Moldova's parliament has approved a new West-leaning government with a program that endorsed integration into the European mainstream as a main goal.
Adoption of the new Cabinet, presented by Prime Minister Vlad Filat on Friday, is a first step to election later this year of a president to end a political stalemate that has blocked reform.
Three parties re-formed the Alliance for European Integration coalition after defeating the powerful opposition Communists in an election last November.
On Friday, the support of its 59 members in parliament was enough to install the new government, even though the Communists refused to take part in the vote.
