Tatiana Poting, interim president of the Romanian People’s Party (PPR), announced her departure from politics, an area in which she came about 13 years ago. She will focus on teaching and research, informs TRIBUNA.

“It is an assumed decision, taken some time ago, which I preferred to communicate at first only to party colleagues, in order to consume the subject of power transfer within the political group,” she said.

At the same time, Poting spoke about her political activity.

“I joined politics in the already distant year 2008, during the glory period of Voronin’s neo-communist regime, in Balti, the city where only the University and a some educational and cultural institutions were brining the increasingly aggressive invasion of the sector and the hammer.

In all the years that followed, regardless of my position, I was consistent in doctrinal affiliation, followed my faith and worked honestly, without sacrificing conscience and common sense.  In all my activity I have been guided by law, morals and  Christian rule and  constantly promoted the Romanian national values and the ideal of the nation’s Re-Union!

I participated, together with the PPR team, in the sinuous process of uniting the Unionistic right within the MPU, convinced that only together we can bring this ideal closer!  Unfortunately, not always the momentum, faith, the values we promote are converted into votes and electoral score.  The trends in current politics, the changes that are taking place have turned me into the phrase “In new times, new people” and have determined me to take a step back, leaving room for those with more nerve and more vigor,she noted.

Poting also announced who is taking over the party’s leadership.  “I sincerely hope that my successor, the interim president of the PPR, Vlad Bilețchi, will give a new cadence to the unionist movement and will bring closer the longed-for moment of being together, in the same state, of the Romanian Nation!”, the politician stressed.

TRIBUNA reminds: Tatiana Poting was interim president of the PPR since January 2020. She was part of the Liberal Party until 2013, and then part of the reformist Liberal Party, which was renamed the Romanian People’s Party in 2019.
