Hello and welcome back to Part 2 of our Meet the Minister’s series. Yesterday we looked at who was appointed, or retained, to 8 ministerial positions. I organized these into the clusters - “Foreign Affairs & Transnistria” and “Economics, Finance and Regional Development.” Today we’re going to move on to look at 8 more ministers within clusters I’m calling “Social Welfare” and the “Power Ministries.”

If you missed Part 1 in this series you can read it here:

This article is probably not going to fully load in your email (lots of pictures). Just click on the title of the article to open it on the website (or in the Substack app). Also, if you aren’t interested in every ministry, use the links below to jump to the ones that you are most interested in!

Part 1:

  • Cluster 1: Foreign Affairs & Transnistria

    • Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration

    • Deputy Prime Minister for Foreign Affairs

    • Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration

  • Cluster 2: Economics, Finance and Regional Development

    • Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization

    • Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development

    • Minister of Finance

    • Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry

    • Minister of Energy

Part 2:

  • Cluster 3: Social Welfare

    • Minister of Education and Research

    • Minister of Labour and Social Protection

    • Minister of Health

    • Minister of Culture

    • Minister of the Environment

  • Cluster 4: Power Ministries

    • Minister of Internal Affairs

    • Minister of Defence

    • Minister of Justice

Note: You’ve probably noticed that the ministry names above are sometimes quite long. In Moldova Matters I typically abbreviate them for simplicity’s sake - e.g. the “Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization” is the Minister of Economy. When strictly necessary I’ll use the full titles in this article, but will mostly try and keep the short form when possible. Sorry for the inevitable occasional confusion.
