Congratulations!!! Chisinau got a new mayor

Dorin Chirtoaca won the second tour of elections for the post of mayor. The second tour took place yesterday, the 17-th of June. And the results of the elections were told after midnight.

here they are:

Dorin Chirtoaca, Liberal Party - 61,17 %
Veaceslav Iordan, Communist Party - 38,83 %

this is an amazing result and it represents a very important change in the public administration of Chisinau. Even though there were many spiculations and anti-propaganda against Dorin Chirtoaca (like saying he is a very radical nationalist) people trusthim more than his oponent. It is believed that it was made the first step for the change of the today political regim. And it will deffinetly influence the parliamentary elections in 2009.


Dorin Chirtoaca is only 28 years old, but he's got the neccessary education and represents the prototype of a modern moldavian politic.

Mayor elections in Chisinau 3 -rd of June 2007

The Mayor elections left a negative character since the last time. There were three attempts of choosing a mayor, but with no luck. The main reason was that people were just ignoring the elections and the presence was less than 30 % in the first tour, and less than 20% in the following two.
I think this can be explained by the fact that people are not feeling confident for their government. There was no person for a candidate which could serve as a strong and sure personality. The candidates just couldn't receive the trust of the citizens.

Here are the results of the elections from the 10-th of July 2005, in Chisinau.

Greceanîi Zinaida Communist Party of RM 50,15%
Dumitru Braghis independent candidate 20,65%
Chirtoaca Dorin Liveral Party 7,13%
Susarenco Gheorghe Popular-Christian Party 7,02%

the total number of participants in the elections was 156617 people from Chisinau, which represents less than 20 % of the population of this city.

This was a total fail for the mayor elections. But anyway there had to be a person who could serve as a mayor, even temporary. The person selected was Vasile Ursu, the representative of the communist party (seems to be logically the fact that he was choosen). He used to be the executive of duties of mayor for almost 2 years. Couple of months ago he was given the duty of the minister of transportation in the Republic of Moldova. His place was taken by Veaceslav Iordan (also the representative of the Communist Party).

Now the candidates for the new elections a getting ready for the new "fight". This will solve the problem, wether the communist will take the lead in the mayor's person, or will try to fight till the next parliamental elections. Will they get the one or the another one...
