biography

Năstase was born on August 6, 1975 in the village of Mîndreşti, which is now part of the Teleneşti municipality, as the son of Andrei and Anna Năstase. He attended school in Mîndreşti between 1982 and 1992 and studied from 1992 to 1993 at the Faculty of History and Geography of the Ștefan cel Mare University of Suceava in Romania. In 1993 and 1997 he studied law at the Faculty of the University of Alexandru Ioan Cuza Iași .

Professional development

From 1997 to 2000 Năstase worked first as an assistant and then as an assistant to the traffic attorney for the public prosecutor of Chișinău. There is only a little evidence of his work. In response to a request from the non-profit organization RISE Moldova, the Public Prosecutor's Office found that Năstase had dealt with various cases for the civil aviation company and for the state-owned company Air Moldova , but that despite the number of exemptions, no violations of applicable law could be found.

Năstase was Deputy Director of Air Moldova from 2002 to 2002 . During this period, Air Moldova was transformed from a state-owned company into a joint venture . During this phase, the political analyst and director of the Center for Strategic Analysis and Monitoring, Victor Gurău, complained about the illegal behavior of those involved. According to Gurău, the company's shares were acquired by a foreign investor who did not have accounts and did not meet the minimum requirements for starting a business. He claimed that Năstase was involved in the privatization of Air Moldova along with former Prime Minister Vlad Filat , entrepreneurs Victor sowieopa and Viorel Țopa and former Finance Minister Anatol Arapu.

Năstase has been a certified attorney since November 15, 2002.

Political activity

At the beginning of 2015, Năstase took part in the establishment of the civil platform Dignity and Truth, together with several opinion leaders, journalists, lawyers, political scientists, ambassadors and others . He also led the protest movement in Moldova in September 2015. On November 1, 2015, he was elected President of the Executive Office of the Initiative Group. The aim was to organize a republican referendum to amend the constitution, which would allow the people to directly dismiss the president, limit parliamentary immunity and reduce the number of MPs from 101 to 71. Năstase also drafted laws that were subsequently examined and approved by the Constitutional Court. In December 2015, Năstase joined the People's Strength party with some of the members of the Platform for Dignity and Truth . At the extraordinary congress on December 13, 2015, the party in dignity and truth (Partidul Politic " Platforma Demnitate și Adevăr ", PPDA ) was renamed and new governing bodies and Năstase were elected as party chairman.

2016 presidential election

Andrei Năstase was elected by the Political National Council of the Party for Dignity and Truth to participate in the 2016 presidential election . He was registered on September 18, 2016 as the fourth official candidate of the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) for the October 30, 2016 elections. On October 15, 2016, Andrei Năstase officially withdrew his candidacy and supported the candidate of the Action and Solidarity party Maia Sandu .

Mayoral elections 2018 in Chișinău

In the 2018 mayoral elections in Chișinău, Năstase won the runoff election after finishing second in the first round with 52.57% of the vote and defeated Ion Ceban (47.43%). On June 19, 2018, however, the elections were declared null and void by both candidates, contrary to the provisions of the electoral law, for violating the election silence on election day. Thus, the mandate of the elected mayor for Andrei Năstase was not confirmed by the judges of the central court in Chișinău. This decision was upheld by the Chișinău Court of Appeal on June 21, 2018, as well as by the Supreme Court (CSJ), which issued the final judgment on the validation of the results of the Chisinau elections on June 25, 2018. On June 29, 2018, the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) declared the local elections held in the capital to be void. Năstase viewed the decision as politically motivated and as ordered by Vladimir Plahotniuc . Following this decision, the mayor of Chișinău will be elected in Moldova's local elections in 2019, and the mayor's office will be headed by a full-time mayor.

Reviews

As a lawyer, Năstase has defended various domestic and foreign investors before national and international courts, including the German company Unistar and business people Viorel and Victor Topa. The defense of Tops has generated considerable criticism as the businessmen have been convicted by the Moldovan judiciary for chantage , embezzlement, money laundering and forgery of documents. Năstase was nicknamed "The Man of Țopas".

Năstase also received criticism for his relations with Iurie Roşca , which took place at the time when he was a member of the then ruling Communist Party of the Republic of Moldova . Furthermore, his ties to offshore companies have been criticized by some journalists who claim that his family's businesses have been preferred.

Some investigative journalists have reported that the Open Dialogue Foundatio, founded by Kazakh entrepreneur and politician Muhtar Abliazov and led by activist Lyudmyla Kozlovska, has been lobbying for Năstase and Maia Sandu's parties in Europe . The two would have received benefits from the foundation without declaring them.

According to the party leader of the Liberal Party , Dorin Chirtoacă , Nastase would Vltava inflicted the Republic of harm from EUR 7 million. He refers to Andrei Nastase's participation in the privatization of the state- owned Air Moldova , through which the German airline Unistar Ventures, allegedly managed by Victor Țopa, acquired 49% of the airline's shares.

Personal

Năstase is married to Angela Năstase and has three children. His brother Vasile Năstase is a journalist, former prime minister of the first parliament of Moldova and one of the first to sign the declaration of independence. Năstase is the godchild of the entrepreneur Victor Țopa.
