Defense Minister Anatol Salaru said that Mihai Ghimpu by demanding his dismissal "coupled" with Dodon following the example of Rosca-Voronin. However, Salaru said that he leaves the Defence with the heart at peace because he was not dismissed for violations or failures in the work of a minister, but only because he asked for the change of the Liberal Party president.

"I never imagined that under the leadership of Mihai Ghimpu the Liberal Party will turn into a Bolshevik-type of party where those who dispute the leader's supremacy are executed," says Salaru.

Next, the former minister quotes Dodon, recognizing the veracity of the arguments raised by him on his dismissal.

"Igor Dodon said the real reasons for my dismissal:" A few minutes ago I have signed the decree on the dismissal of the disreputable minister Salaru. Thanks to Mihai Ghimpu for this demarche...

I remind that this Minister is the one who flirted with NATO knowing very well that we are a neutral country according to the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova, he favored and stood in the vanguard of the appearance of American military technics in the Great National Assembly Square on the Victory Day, which can not be qualified otherwise than a challenge. He advocated and advocates openly for the unification of Moldova with Romania," added Salaru

Former chief of the defense thus concludes: "Unfortunately, for Moldova starts a black period in which, again, we will have to defend our Romanian identity, to defend our national being. Moldova needs a moral revolution, a revolution of common sense. The fight continues!"

Deschide.MD recalls that this morning Igor Dodon signed the decree on dismissal of Anatol Salaru.

Last night at Pro TV channel, when asked if he would accept the candidature of Valeriu Munteanu, as announced Mihai Ghimpu, President Dodon said that he "will carefully examine the candidature ." In his opinion "the Ministry of Defense should be a minister that comes from the military personnel. There must not be vets and journalists at the defense."

PL withdrew the political support of Anatol Salaru, accusing him of preparing a coup for the party. In turn, Salaru said that he requested Ghimpu's resignation in order to initiate a reform in the Liberal Party and save the party from political suicide.
