Independent candidate Natalia Morari launches the electoral campaign

Independent candidate Natalia Morari launched on Friday, September 27, the electoral campaign. Natalia Morari's program is called "New Moldova", which promises rapid reforms, higher salaries and pensions. The launch was held on the Leova-Bumbăta road, alongside her supporters.

"Moldovans are capable of building a new country. This will be the ultimate mission of my mandate. Sooner or later we will have to realize that, first of all, we must rely on our own strength. We have to stop believing in stories, it's time to learn to take responsibility. I came up with a program of changes, a program that will transform our country from the ground up, radically. They are precise, deeply thought-out measures that will have a big impact on our country (...) I will be the president of the new generation, I will not hesitate to tell you the truth. I will work for all of you", said Natalia Morari.

The presidential elections will take place on October 20, the same day as the constitutional referendum on the accession of the Republic of Moldova to the European Union. The electoral campaign in the Republic of Moldova began on September 20, 2024.

So far, the Central Electoral Commission has registered 11 candidates in the electoral race: the candidate supported by the PSRM - Alexandr Stoianoglo, the PAS candidate - Maia Sandu, Renato Usatîi - nominated by Our Party, the candidate of The Party for the Future of Moldova - Vasile Tarlev, former bashcan of Gagauzia, Irina Vlah, former prime minister Ion Chicu, Andrei Năstase - independent candidate, Octavian Țîcu from the "IMPREUNA" bloc, Victoria Furtună, Tudor Ulianovschi and Natalia Morari - independent candidates.

Natalia Morari invited in May the leaders of several opposition parties to a discussion table about a possible common candidate for the presidential elections. She said then that identifying a single candidate, politically unaffiliated, but supported by the entire opposition, would be the best strategy for the presidential campaign. However, shortly after, some parties participating in the discussion announced their candidates.

We remind you that, in 2021, Natalia Morari announced that she was retiring from the TV8 television station, where she was a co-founder, after the relationship she has with the controversial businessman Veaceslav Platon, convicted and accused in criminal cases related to of bank fraud and who fled the Republic of Moldova, after the parliamentary elections of July 11, 2021.

After she was expelled from the Russian Federation, in 2007, following journalistic investigations in which she described corruption and money laundering schemes targeting people from Russian President Vladimir Putin's entourage, Natalia Morari began to get involved civically in the Republic of Moldova, where he also founded an NGO. She would have played a key role in organizing the anti-government protests of April 2009 in Chisinau, which degenerated into riots.

In 2018, Natalia Morari was included in the database of the platform myrotvorets.center, established by the Research Center of Crimes against the National Security of Ukraine, where she is presented as an agent of Russian special services. This information was rejected by Morari.
