Overview
According to acting President Mihai Ghimpu, the new Constitution will be initially adopted by the Parliament by 50+1 votes. A national referendum will be held afterward where the people will express their opinions on the new Constitution.[1]
The name of the official language will be also modified. According to Ghimpu, Romanian language must be the official language of Moldova. The possible constitutional reform will not cover the country's neutrality policy and the functioning of the state of law, Ghimpu added.[1]
