Nastase considers the geopolitics - an evil and the start of early elections - a priority
The Political Party “Platform Dignity and Truth” (PPDA) nominee for President considers that the geopolitics is not that significant, more important are the projects for the country. " The people do not have what to eat, but the politicians tell them about Russian tanks, nonexistent customs unions or European miracles from the TV set.”, specified Andrei Nastase.
In an interview for IPN, the PPDA candidate, also says that he would like Moldova to become a full member of the EU, but "does not want to lie to people, promising them something that now is unreal."
"The geopolitical aspect brought as much evil as the politicians who divided society based on this criterion. The people do not have what to eat, but they tell them about Russian tanks, inexistent customs unions or European miracles from the TV set. The politicians deserve the people’s vote first of all for the projects that they intend to implement for the country, for the people who live here. I want the Republic of Moldova to become a fully-fledged member of the EU, but I do not want to lie to the people, promising them something that is now unreal. We should start work and free justice from captivity and bring it to a European level. We should begin a harsh fight against grand and petty corruption. We must remove the oligarchs and criminals from power. By each accomplishment, we come closer to a European Moldova", also stated Nastase.
Among the top five priorities of the PPDA candidate for president, Andrei Nastase mentioned:
"1. Clarification of the thefts of the billions of lei by an international investigation into the banking frauds and money laundering cases, contribution to recovering the money, penalization of the thieves and utilization of all the legal means possible to free the people from the obligation to repay the stolen billions of lei.
2. Transformation of the people’s socioeconomic demands into legislative initiatives, with the rise in pensions up to the level of the minimum consumer basket at least, stimulation of the private initiative and national and foreign investments that would generate new, well-paid jobs and would motivate the young people to remain at home, decentralization, modernization of towns, rehabilitation of villages and development of agriculture being among the top priorities.
3. Submission of a legislative initiative concerning the reformation of the justice sector and fighting of grand and petty corruption, with the appointment of an independent prosecutor general, the transformation of the National Anticorruption Center into the National Anticorruption Directorate, freeing of anticorruption institutions from political influence, lustration extended up to now, extended confiscation of the property of state officials, prosecutors and judges and of their relatives if these cannot prove the source of income being among the priorities.
4. Initiation of early legislative elections as soon as possible.
5. Promotion of internal and external policy aimed at restoring the confidence of the Moldovan people and foreign partners in the national political class and the Republic of Moldova."
Andrei Nastase believes that the president must be a player that aims to be the guarantor of citizens: "In this corrupt system that is practically fully subordinated to Plahotniuc and his company, only a powerful President can lay the foundations for the renovation of the political class and can provoke early parliamentary elections and plead for positive changes that would ensure decent living conditions and would return things in in Moldova to normality."
