The President of Moldova, Maia Sandu, nominated ex-Minister of Finance Natalia Gavrilita as a candidate for the post of Prime Minister.
The head of state announced her decision at a briefing on Wednesday, noting that Natalia Gavrilita is a person whom she trusts, and she is an incorruptible and responsible professional. Maia Sandu instructed Natalia Gavrilita to form a government team and prepare a program for the new Cabinet of Ministers, based on the development of the economy and cleaning government institutions from corruption. The President said that she still considers early parliamentary elections to be the only way to break the current political deadlock. "Citizens should have the right to elect deputies who would create a responsible majority in the new parliament that works in the interests of citizens. Now parliamentary factions have the opportunity to show whether they really want early elections, or are only hiding behind lies and trying to set traps," she said Maia Sandu. Natalia Gavrilita served as the Minister of Finance of Moldova in the government of Maia Sandu from June 8, 2019 until mid-November 2019, when the entire Cabinet was dismissed. Natalia Gavrilita graduated from the Faculty of Law at the State University of Moldova and the Harvard Institute of Public Administration named after John F. Kennedy. For three years she worked in London as an economist at the Global Innovation Fund. Natalia Gavrilita also served as Secretary of State at the Ministry of Education. She has worked for Oxford Policy Management, an international development consulting firm based in the United Kingdom, focused on the development of low and middle income countries (Tajikistan, Indonesia, Nigeria, the occupied Palestinian territories). Natalia Gavrilita is an expert in the field of public administration reforms. // 27.01.2021 - InfoMarket.
