"From our point of view, we have to put end to the speculations and to stop once and for all to perceive the Republic of Moldova as a state that would have a historical purpose only for a very short historical term. It was a mistake that the Parliament from the Chisinau did not introduce in the Constitution the article that would provide the right for self-determination to Gagauzia in case of loss of sovereignty by the Republic of Moldova."

Mihail Formuzal to BBC Radio, [2] [3]

Governor of Gagauzia

On 19 December 2006, Mihail Formuzal, the elected governor of Gagauzia, said that he intends to work constructively with the central authorities from Chișinău, which have been criticized several times during the campaign. Formuzal also mentioned that he will not criticize or blame his predecessors, but will end all the projects started during their mandate.

According to the legislation in force, after the announcement of the final official results by the Central Electoral Committee of Gagauzia, the mandate of the new governor must be validated by the Comrat Court of Appeal. Subsequently, by presidential decree, the new governor must be appointed as a member of the Government. Therefore, after almost four years of absence, a representative of the opposition has appeared in the Cabinet, even if he did not have a portfolio.
