Anti-corruption prosecutor Victoria Furtuna, who ran in the presidential election last autumn, became the chairwoman of the Moldova Mare political party, IPN reports.
On the website of the Public Services Agency, it is indicated that the party on March 2 had 152 members. According to the same data, the party was registered in 2007.
Initially, the party was called the Social-Political Movement "For Nation and Country" and was led by Tudor Deliu. In the summer of 2008, Tudor Deliu announced that the Movement would join the Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova (PLDM). Subsequently, Deliu joined the PLDM team, but the Movement continued to work under a new leader, Nicolae Uțica. In January 2009, the Movement changed its name to the "For Nation and Country" Party. In 2020, the party changes its name to the “Moldova Mare” party with Teodor Turta as its leader.
After 18 years of work in the prosecutor's office, Victoria Furtună scandalously resigned in March 2024. Among the reasons invoked was the disagreement with the subjugation of the justice system by the ruling party.
Victoria Furtună competed in the presidential election as an independent candidate, supported by a group of citizens. In the election, she won 4.45% of the vote.
