People are the greatest asset of Moldova and, for some time, of the government too, stated Speaker Andrian Candu in an IPN interview dedicated to Independence Day.

Andrian Candu says that the current government is changing the paradigm of state administration where there’s more respect for the people and where “state institutions are there to serve the citizen, and not the other way around”. 

To him, it’s the people who define Independence, regardless of their ethnic belonging, language, confession or social status. “Moldova means everyone who lives here in dignity and believes in this country despite all hardship”.

“Twenty-six years ago we lived together an extraordinary sentiment of pride and freedom. Those feelings of euphoria and patriotism have faded during the difficult years of state-building. Today, through our policies, we follow the aspirations of two decades ago to live in dignity in a country that we can be proud of”.

“It reminds us of the reasons why we fought for independence and we are going to explain this trenchantly to whoever tries to impose its own rules on us. We have accepted this humiliation for far too long from our own governments and from foreign governments as well”, stated Speaker Andrian Candu in an IPN interview that will be published in full tomorrow.
