I BELIEVE. Vote with BELIEF!
In 2000, I founded the youth organization “JEF Moldova”, through which I organized multiple conferences and seminars for young people in Moldova and facilitated their participation in international conferences organized by colleagues from the JEF Europe network. I have always been, and remain, committed to promoting youth engagement in the socio-political life of the country and in the European integration process.
I graduated with a law degree from Moldova State University and earned a Master’s in Advanced European Studies from the College of Europe in Natolin (Warsaw). A few years later, I also passed the bar exam.
My civic activity has been dedicated to promoting transparency in governance, ensuring integrity in politics, and improving the efficiency of public spending.
In 2007, I launched the Civic Initiative for a Clean Parliament, a project uniting several organizations to verify the integrity of candidates nominated by political parties for parliamentary and local elections. The Clean Parliament Campaign had a strong impact and remains a successful platform, adapted in new forms and still active today.
I co-founded the Association for Efficient and Responsible Governance (AGER), which monitored the implementation of public policies – most notably justice reform and public procurement. Thanks to our efforts, the government created the online public procurement platform (mtender), ensuring greater transparency. While challenges remain in procurement, citizens and journalists can now monitor all procurement data through this platform.
As Minister of Justice, I initiated planning for a justice reform that would deliver a fair, corruption-free judiciary. I continued these efforts as a Member of Parliament and Chair of the Legal Committee, drafting and promoting legislation to strengthen anti-corruption investigations, enable asset confiscation, and implement integrity checks for judges and prosecutors.
Wherever I have worked, I have always upheld the principles of transparency, accountability, and integrity.
I firmly believe that Moldova can have a fair and independent justice system. Just as I believe Moldova can become a developed country, where the interests and well-being of every citizen come first.

I BELIEVE in a Moldova free of poverty
Over the past decades, we have lost not only investments, opportunities, and jobs – we have lost confidence in our ability to overcome poverty. I believe we must start correcting this through fiscal stability, less bureaucracy, fewer regulations, and more order and predictability. We have already seen the damaging effects of rushed laws: the “cash law” paralyzed the real estate market and triggered price increases. A good set of rules can instead bring immediate positive effects on prices and the economy.
I BELIEVE in an educated Moldova, with people prepared to work
We are few, but together we must lift our country. We can succeed with confidence, wisdom, and common sense. Yes, we need laboratories, running water, and modern school buildings – but above all, we need children and teachers who truly learn and teach. We need engaging and relevant lessons at every level of education. As a mother of three, I place education at the top of priorities, as all parents do. I believe we can create opportunities for every talented child in the country. Together – parents, children, teachers – we can transform education from an expense item into an investment that generates prosperity.
I BELIEVE in a rule-of-law state, governed with common sense
I am one of the authors of Moldova’s justice reform concept. I am also one of its strongest critics regarding implementation. Moldova does not need new radical concepts or strategies – it needs correct, well-intentioned, and professional implementation. We must continue fighting corruption, but without destroying our country and our democracy. We have good civil servants, but they need clear instructions, free from political interference. Political actors must withdraw from justice immediately, even if it challenges group interests. We need new parties and new politicians – but with real experience, not those learning on the job while earning a deputy’s or minister’s salary. Our mission is to turn Moldova into a comfortable, friendly state for every citizen. I believe we can achieve this together.
I BELIEVE in a united country
We are too few to afford internal conflicts. We have been affected by the pandemic, by war, by geopolitics, and by politicians’ divisions. Yet I trust that we remain the same people: hardworking, faithful, and God-fearing. Moldova is small, but there has always been room for everyone with good intentions. Our common concerns unite us more strongly than our differences. We must remember that we are better than how we are often portrayed. Poverty, demographics, education, health, the economy – these affect us all, regardless of whether we are Moldovans, Romanians, Ukrainians, Gagauz, Russians, Bulgarians; whether we live in the south or the east. We are few, but we can build bridges, not trenches. I believe we can unite to find solutions to our common challenges – now, not five years from now.
