The ex-president of Gas Natural Fenosa Silvia Radu, who now serves as Spain’s Honorific Consult in Moldova, will run independently in the presidential elections. In a news conference at IPN, she said she was absent from the public arena for a period, but implemented different projects in the period and followed attentively the events in the country.
“I want to inform you that I decided to take this step and to run for the office of President of the Republic of Moldova. I will run independently and will be an independent President up to the end of term,” stated Silvia Radu, adding that she wants to be a President of all the people, who would represent the people in this post, while the people should decide the course that the country will follow.
“I believe in the European values. I promote the international standards. I’m sure that the market economy and everything the European Union promotes will apply to the Republic of Moldova if the state institutions are depoliticized and we have technocrats who will be able to implement these reforms in the economy of our country.”
Silvia Radu noted that she will be an absolutely independent candidate and will not accept alliances with campaigning parties because she considers it is very important for the President to be apolitical and be able to take decisions that would embrace the interests of all the country’s people.
She also said that she could create a party after the elections. “These elections should enable to initiate the process of depoliticizing the state institutions. It is very important for us now, in the crisis we experience, to maximally profit from this possibility so that the people give their vote for someone who promotes the interests not of a political group, but of the whole nation, regardless of the spoken language,” added the former president of Gas Natural Fenosa
Silvia Radu was born in Hancesti on February 27, 1972. She studied business management at the University of Navarra in Spain and then law and foreign languages at the State University of Moldova and also international relations at the Academy of Public Administration under Government of Moldova.
