## Resource

Moldova’s Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu has stunned the nation by resigning abruptly, triggering the collapse of his entire government. Though he offered no specifics, he cited a conflict with his own principles as the reason. His departure throws a wrench into President Maia Sandu’s pro-EU agenda, forcing her to navigate parliamentary politics to appoint a new leader. Munteanu, a seasoned international diplomat appointed after his party’s electoral victory, had been instrumental in steering Moldova toward European integration. Now, with the country caught between Ukraine and Romania, and its divided population torn between Romanian and Russian influences, the nation faces a pivotal moment: can Moldova stay on course toward EU membership under its next prime minister?
