Research centre nominates Moldovan premier as most influential politician in April
The leader of the senior coalition partner Liberal Democratic Party, Prime Minister Vlad Filat, is the most influential Moldovan politician in April 2012, according to a top 50 most influential politicians. Vlad Filat is followed by Parliament Speaker and leader of the Democratic Party, Marian Lupu. Foreign and European Integration Minister Iurie Leanca ranks third, according to the Politicon Centre of Strategic Researches and Political Advice. Moldovan President Nicolae Timofti ranked fifth and went down one position, against the top carried out in March. He is outrun by Chisinau mayor Dorin Chirtoaca, who went up two positions in the top and ranked fourth. Timofti is followed by First Deputy Parliament Speaker Vlad Plahotniuc, who ranks sixth and the leader of the junior coalition partner Liberal Party, Mihai Ghimpu, who ranks seventh. For the first time, Deputy Premier for Reintegration Eugen Carpov entered the top ranking eighth. He is followed by Deputy Prime Minister Valeriu Lazar. The leader of the opposition Party of Communists, Vladimir Voronin, ranked tenth in the top, going down by one position against March 2012. The head of the Politicon Centre, Anatol Taranu said that the relative stability and non-significant fluctuations in the top prove that the political stalemate caused by the non-election of the president has been overcome and that Moldova has entered a relative political slack time. The top 50 most influential Moldovan politicians is a synthesis of the politicians performances, assessed by 28 experts, according to their influence on the major decisions in the country, their popularity rating, their visibility in the national media, as well as their political prospects.
