Save Romania Union (USR) MP Claudiu Nasui announced on Tuesday that he had accepted an invitation from Moldova's new Prime Minister Vasile Tofan to take up the office of Minister of Economy. The decision means giving up his parliamentary mandate in Romania.
Nasui, who previously served as Romania's Minister of Economy, said he had chosen to accept the proposal in order to contribute to Moldova's economic development.
'Prime Minister Tofan has the difficult but honourable mission of leading his country in the right direction: towards freedom and closer ties with Romania and Europe. I am happy to take on the same mission, with optimism, enthusiasm and the confidence that a more prosperous Moldovan economy also means a more prosperous Romanian economy, as part of our shared European path,' Nasui wrote on his Facebook page on Tuesday.
He added that throughout history, people have prospered where respect for private property and the principles of economic freedom have prevailed.
'I entered politics almost 10 years ago to promote these principles of liberalism, which have lifted more people out of poverty than any other policies in the world. I have strongly identified with the vision of Mr Vasile Tofan, the new Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova, for this country: for the Republic of Moldova to become the most welcoming country for entrepreneurs. He understands that the state does not solve economic problems; at best, it merely manages them, and more often than not makes them worse when it intervenes in the economy,' Nasui said.
According to the USR MP, wealth must be created before it can be redistributed by the state, while economic development requires the principles of the free market.
'In politics, it is easy to make yourself popular, at least while you are in power and can choose the easy path of populism paid for with taxpayers' money. It is much harder to say that things cannot continue this way indefinitely because otherwise the bill will condemn the country to stagnation. Prime Minister Tofan could have quietly continued his successful career, but he chose to take on the difficult task of implementing the reforms Moldova needs to prosper and successfully navigate a turning point in the country's future: joining the European Union,' Claudiu Nasui also wrote.
