CHISINAU (Moldova), April 1 (SeeNews) - Moldova's parliament, in which pro-Moscow Socialists form the largest group of lawmakers, said it declared a two-month nationwide state of emergency to tame a surge in coronavirus infection but the country's pro-European president Maia Sandu said the decision rather aimed to prevent an early general election.
A total of 52 members of the 101-seat parliament MPs who form the parliamentary majority comprising the Socialist Party (PSRM), Sor Party and PRO Moldova, voted on Wednesday evening to introduce a state of emergency across the country, to be in force from April 1 until May 30, data posted on the parliament's website showed.
