The Supervisory Board (SB) of the public broadcaster Teleradio-Moldova (TRM) took note of the request for <\/strong>resignation from the post of Director-General<\/strong><\/a> of the company, submitted by Vlad \u021aurcanu. The decision was adopted with six votes \u2018in favour\u2019 and one \u2018against\u2019 during the meeting on Friday, 22 May. <\/strong>The meeting<\/strong><\/a> of the body responsible for appointing TRM\u2019s management was marked by debates and disputes regarding the interpretation of the legal procedure applicable to the general manager\u2019s resignation and the point at which it can be formalised.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Present at the meeting, Vlad \u021aurcanu announced that he did not intend to withdraw his resignation. At the same time, he stated that \u201cthe decision has been made\u201d and that he \u201cstands by it\u201d.<\/p>\n

The outgoing Director-General of TRM stated that he would serve in an interim capacity until another person is appointed. He said he would not stand for a new term and called on the Supervisory Board to organise the competition to appoint the future Director-General without delay.<\/p>\n

Some members of the Supervisory Board expressed their dissatisfaction with the situation regarding Eurovision and regarded Vlad \u021aurcanu\u2019s decision to resign as too drastic, arguing that the circumstances leading to this situation needed to be clarified. Other members of the Board, however, emphasised the need to comply with legal provisions, noting that, as long as a resignation has been submitted, it must be considered.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is happening now is tragic. We need to discuss why we have reached this situation. I, too, am outraged by the jury\u2019s scores, but that does not mean it had to come to the point where the Director-General had to resign. \u2018What do you mean, are we going to decapitate national television and radio just because someone on the jury didn\u2019t award the correct mark?\u2019 emphasised CS member Aureliu D\u0103nil\u0103<\/strong>, suggesting that Vlad \u021aurcanu withdraw his request.<\/p>\n

In the same context, his colleague, Maria \u0218leahti\u021bchi<\/strong>, stated that responsibility for the vote lies with the jury and not with the institution\u2019s management. \u201cI respect Mr \u021aurcanu\u2019s point of view. If he has submitted the request, we must examine it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Corneliu Popovici<\/strong> insisted on the need to comply with legal regulations. \u201cA request has been submitted, which we must examine. The person concerned might, for example, not even have been present today. This is a request submitted and signed not by a child, but by a mature adult holding a position of responsibility,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

After nearly two hours of heated debate, TRM\u2019s Supervisory Board decided to take note of the resignation request submitted by Vlad \u021aurcanu, but to postpone the formal acceptance of his resignation. The Board is due to meet again on 27 May, when it will decide whether to declare the post vacant and whether to announce a competition to appoint a new director-general. Under the Labour Code, Vlad \u021aurcanu has a seven-day period during which he may withdraw his resignation.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, \u021aurcanu stated that it would be appropriate for the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Arcadie Gherasim, to also take part in the discussions.<\/p>\n

When previously contacted by Media Azi for comment on the situation, Arcadie Gherasim said he could not provide any details as he was on holiday.<\/p>\n

The Director-General of Teleradio-Moldova, Vlad \u021aurcanu, announced <\/a>his resignation on Monday 18 May during a press briefing, after the Moldovan jury at the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest awarded Romania\u2019s entry just three points, whilst Ukraine received no points at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy resignation is a sign that the fraternal ties the Republic of Moldova shares with Romania, as well as our gratitude towards Ukraine for its daily sacrifices, remain unchanged. Our attitude towards Ukraine is not one of zero points, and our feelings towards Romania can only be ones of love,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
