Snegur repeatedly threatened to dismiss Sangheli's cabinet for incompetence, particularly for its inability to solve serious social issues such as the huge arrears in pensions and salary payments to state employees.
Snegur's frustration surfaced in his oft-repeated pledge that, if he were re-elected president in November, he would fight for changing Moldova into a presidential republic in which he would enjoy broad prerogatives and would be in direct control of the government.
Both Snegur and the FPCD subsequently tried to depict their alliance as a pragmatic one, with the latter suggesting that Snegur was the "lesser evil" compared to overtly pro-Russian Sangheli and Lucinschi.

 Vasile Nedelciuc - About Moldova   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Mircea Snegur, the first president of the newly independent state, and his supporters in Parliament - mainly managers of collective farms, and communist and soviet leaders from the whole territory of Moldova -- became anxious because of the successive waves of democratic transformations, as well as by the emerging separatist movements.
So it was that in December 1991, President Snegur found himself signing a declaration in favour of Moldova's adherence to the newly created "Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)", a successor state of sorts to the now decidedly buried Soviet Union.
Such a measure, taken immediately after the elections (which otherwise reinforced the influence of the old nomenclature when the electorate continued to be in a deep depression provoked by the bloody and lost war in Transnistria, and by the unprecedented post-independence inflation), brought the expected results to the pro-Moscow faction.

It is normal, for the presidents to revise SSC membership once they are elected and validated in function, however it raises some eyebrows when they do so on the eve of elections or other events aimed to consolidate their power.
