The candidate for President of the Party “Action and Solidarity” (PAS) Maia Sandu signed a ‘social contract’ with the people. In a public event staged in Hancesti town, Maia Sandu pledged to make the Presidential Office the house and voice of people and to consult the people, including by referendum, about all the important subjects if she becomes Head of State, IPN reports, quoting a press release of the party.
“As President of the Republic of Moldova, I will do my best for Moldova to come closer to the European Union and to bring the values and European living standards to our country. I will propose and name to posts only upright people who didn’t commit or tolerate acts of corruption. I will free the Prosecutor General’s Office from political influence and criminal interests and will struggle with the corrupt judges from the system,” said the candidate.
Maia Sandu also pledged to work with the state institutions in order to stimulate the creation of jobs and bring money to each community and each family, to prohibit, by legislative initiative, any relations between public institutions and offshore companies based in dubious jurisdictions and to ban these firms from holding shares in financial institutions.
“I will seek international assistance in investigating the theft of the US$1 billion so that the money is returned to the country, while those to blame are penalized. I will initiate laws that will bring the power into the hands of mayors, people who you chose, so that these are not at the beck and call of corrupt politicians. I will make public all the information of national interest and will make sure that all the state institutions work transparently, in the interests of the people,” reads the ‘social contract’.
The PAS candidate pledged to start from the Presidential Office and create a new political system that will not allow an oligarch or a group of oligarchs to appropriate power, to oblige the parties to account for the way in which they spend money and to declare their sources of financing, and to stimulate the development of independent press so that the people are informed correctly.
