We decided to check the potential future deputies based on last year\u2019s polls.<\/strong> We present the first candidates in the lists of the Democratic Party, Dignity and Truth Party, and National Unity Party.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Party of Moldova<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pavel Filip<\/strong>, leader of the Democratic Party, was elected after Vladimir Plahotniuc’s resignation and flight from the country in July 2019. Over the years, Filip and the Democrats participated in taking several controversial decisions and actions being accused of capturing state institutions. His name is linked to the case of usurpation of power in the state, initiated after the withdrawal of the Democrats from power. Pavel Filip, together with his colleagues Monica Babuc, Alexandru Jizdan, and Nicolae Ciubuc, challenged in court the order to start the criminal investigation, but all the courts rejected their appeal. The General Prosecutor\u2019s Office representatives stated for ZdG that the criminal investigation, in that case, is ongoing. In October 2018, the Filip Government, invested on January 20, 2016, amid protests in front of the Parliament, privatized as a matter of urgency and in suspicious conditions the largest airline – Air Moldova, the fugitive deputy Ilan Shor was also interested in that scheme, as ZdG wrote in an investigation. After the withdrawal of Democrats from the government, a criminal case was started on this case. Filip assisted the runaway oligarch Vladimir Plahotniuc for a long time and after the oligarch fled the country, he secretly visited him in Washington. Filip tried to hide the identity of his parents-in-law and their interests in the walnut market. In July 2020, Filip was sued by his former party colleague, Andrian Candu, for defending his honor, dignity, and professional reputation. In May 2021, Candu dropped the lawsuit.
Pavel Filip is also on trial with his former party colleague Eugeniu Nichiforciuc, the next court hearing being scheduled for July 26, this year. For the past two years, Filip indicates an official income of 35,000 euros from the Parliament, and his wife16,000 euros from the Burex company, managed by the couple’s two sons. His wealth declaration also includes a 316-square-meter house, built in 2010 and registered in the name of the youngest son, about which ZdG wrote in January 2016 that it was not found in Pavel Filip’s wealth declaration. The candidate also declares the house in P\u0103n\u0103\u0219e\u0219ti, inherited in 2004, four hectares of land, owned, but also two watches received as a gift. Filip sold his BMW bought in 2005, for 5,000 euros and does not declare that he would have another car. In five bank accounts, the democrat keeps about 8,000 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandru<\/strong> Jizdan<\/strong>, second on the list, is a deputy from the Democratic Party.
He built his career, marked by controversy, in the structures of the Ministry of Interior. He was fired after the scandal of the Royal Forest, were at a hunting game, one man was shot and killed by accident. He was previously decorated because he performed his duties properly during the protests of April 2009. In June 2019, Jizdan was among the fiercest Democrats who did not accept the resignation. In his wealth declaration, Jizdan indicates for two years an official income of 40,000 euros from the Parliament, and his wife, from activities in the private field, over 25,000 euros. The Jizdan family owns an apartment obtained in 2000, with over 20,000 euros, and two houses – a villa of 330 square meters, located in the city of Codru, near Chi\u0219in\u0103u, indicated in the declaration to the value of 50,000 euros, but which in reality would be worth several times more, and the second house, 108 square meters, obtained in 2018 and which would be worth only 1,500 euros. The candidate owns a Land Rover Discovery of 20,000 euros and a Volkswagen Golf, of 8,000 euros. In May 2021, the National Integrity Authority ordered the confiscation of the unjustified fortune of the democrat for over 40,000 euros. Jizdan had a complaint at the Prosecutor General Office, for alleged false declarations in documents. However, Jizdan claims that “it is a confusion,” and that he sued the Integrity Authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was the adviser of Iurie Ro\u0219ca, but also of the oligarch Vladimir Plahotniuc. Democrats promoted her to the post of Minister of Education in 2013. In December 2016, during her term, performers Pa\u0219a Parfeni and C\u0103t\u0103lin Josan, critics of the Democratic Party, were excluded from the show Golden Horseshoe. Monica Babuc was close to Plahotniuc, but after the oligarch fled Moldova, she accused him of being involved in the destruction of the Democratic Party. Babuc declares, for the last two years, an official income of about 44,000 euros from the Parliament, and her husband, employed at Moldovagaz, received about 10,000 euros. Babuc also indicated a donation of 8,000 euros.
