Gheorghe Vita runs for Romanian Parliament

Gheorghe Vita will participate in the elections for the Romanian Parliament’s Chamber of Deputies and wants to represent all the Romanians of Bessarabia, Info-Prim Neo reports. The candidate says he has prepared over years a bill that would improve the situation regarding the recovery of Romanian citizenship by Moldovans. He insists on the fact that Moldovans don’t have to re-obtain the Romanian citizenship because they didn’t give it up, but were stripped of it forcibly. He said during a press conference in Chisinau that he was nominated by the People’s Party-Dan Diaconescu, the only Romanian party with an unionist agenda. If he is elected, Vita will plead for the appointment of an ambassador from Bessarabia to the Embassy in Chisinau, will propose amendments to the Law on citizenship so that Moldovans were able to restore their Romanian citizenship only by presenting their own birth certificate and that of one of the grandparents. Head of the War Veterans Association 1992 Tiras-Tighina, Anatol Caraman, colleague with Gheorghe Vita in the Council of Unification, says he has known the latter for a long time as a true patriot. Caraman explained that Gheorghe Vita was chosen as candidate because many of the previous representatives of Romanians from Bessarabia in the Romanian Parliament did little for them. Victor Buzatu, doctor of science and one of Vita’s supporters, called upon all the Romanians from Bessarabia to support him and those with Romanian citizenship to vote for him on December 9. He says that somebody transformed the recovery of Romanian citizenship into a business, but Gheorghe Vita pleaded for the considerable reduction of fees charged of Moldovans for the issuing of Romanian documents. University professor Ludmila Bolboceanu of the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi and the State University of Comrat also supports Gheorghe Vita and urges the Romanians from Bessarabia to vote for “the one who really works and is responsible, and not for those who only speak nicely”. “I encourage all those who have taken the oath as Romanians in Bessarabia to vote for Gheorghe Vita!”. According to the recent data, about 250,000 Moldovans have Romanian citizenship. In order to enter the Romanian Parliament, Gheorghe Vita needs at least 2000 votes. He runs for the Chamber of Deputies, electoral precinct 43, 2nd uninominal college.
