Socialist Oleg Teterea, one of President Igor Dodon’s oldest and most devoted friends and comrades tendered his resignation as a deputy in the parliamentary Socialist Party faction. Teterea did not publicly comment on the reason for his resignation, but his party colleagues later announced that Teterea is resigning as a deputy in favor of another function, which is not compatible with that of a deputy. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZdG called Teterea’s party colleagues, but they told us that they do not know anything about Teterea\u2019s new function. Later on, we\u2019ve learned that deputy Oleg Teterea was appointed director of Chi\u0219in\u0103u-Gaz, a natural gas supplier. The appointment was not publicly announced. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZdG asked Chi\u0219in\u0103u-Gaz about Teterea\u2019s appointment, but the company claimed that they will be able to give us details only after the press service will return to work, after May 18. ZdG asked the same question the Moldovagaz, the biggest energy company in the country. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Socialist Party deputy, Oleg Teterea tendered his resignation as deputy in the Parliament for a new function. The information about the deputy\u2019s appointment as director of Chi\u0219in\u0103u-Gaz has not yet been officially communicated. However, ZdG sources told us that Teterea is Chi\u0219in\u0103u-Gaz\u2019s director since April, but  this has not yet been made public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZdG phoned Teterea\u2019s colleagues to find more information. However, only Vasile Bolea and Grigore Novac, two Socialist Party deputies answered us, telling that they do not know anything about Teterea\u2019s new function.  We called Oleg Teterea, but he did not answer the phone or messages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZdG called the Chi\u0219in\u0103u-Gaz, but they told us that they will give us an answer after May 18 when the press service will be back, at work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZdG spoke with Alexandr Barbov, public relations specialist at Moldovagaz. He informed us that Oleg Teterea has been the director of Chi\u0219in\u0103u-Gaz since April 17, even if this has not been publicly announced. We tried to establish how Teterea managed to be appointed in that function. Subsequently, we\u2019ve asked for the proposal that forwarded the candidacy of the Socialist deputy as chair of Chi\u0219in\u0103u-Gaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There was no proposal from political actors or pressures from anyone. Mr. Teterea was appointed due to his professional skills, which are not related to his former status as a deputy,\u201d says Alexandr Barbov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We asked what conditions must meet a candidate for the function of the head of Chi\u0219in\u0103u-Gaz. Barbov told us that the candidate must “have the necessary wisdom, experience and training.\u201d <\/em>We also asked about the studies and Barbov told us that the person would need to have a bachelor degree in economics or management, and Teterea meets this condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also tried to find out what salary deputy Teterea will receive from Chi\u0219in\u0103u-Gaz. However, the representatives of Moldovagaz told us that the answer to this question is related to the field of personal data and corporate confidentiality. Therefore, their disclosure is not admissible and even legal without Teterea\u2019s personal content.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former director of Chi\u0219in\u0103u-Gaz, Ruslan Garbal\u00ee, who resigned from the function last autumn, declared for 2019 a salary of over 17,600 euros (340,000 lei).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is Oleg Teterea<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Previously, ZdG wrote about Oleg Teterea in the All the President’s <\/strong>Men<\/a> investigation. Teterea is a member of the Socialist Party and he also was part of the Socialist parliamentary faction. He is Dodon\u2019s oldest and most devoted friend.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
