Founder | Dumitru Ciubașenco Born on August 14, 1963, in Chisinau, Dumitru Ciubasenco studied at the State University of Moldova's Faculty of Journalism. Two years later, he transferred to Moscow State University "M. Lomonosov," where he attended the International Department of Journalism. During his final semester, he completed his thesis in Bucharest. Ciubasenco has worked in journalism since 1985, holding positions at various press agencies. In 1992, he co-founded the Infotag agency and served as its deputy editor-in-chief. In 1995 he helped establish the Moldavskie Vedomosti newspaper, where he worked as editor-in-chief until 2009. In July 2009, he participated in the early parliamentary elections on the list of the Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova, despite not being a party member. That year, he left Moldavskie Vedomosti to found the newspaper Panorama. In the November 2010 parliamentary elections, he ran on the list of the Humanist Party, led by Valeriu Pasat, the former head of the Intelligence and Security Service, and served as the party's spokesman. In December 2009, he was awarded the Order of the Republic by interim President Mihai Ghimpu. However, he renounced the honor a year later after Ghimpu presented the Order to Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili. "I couldn't take it any longer; I declared that I renounce this decoration and sent it to the presidential administration via registered mail," Ciubasenco later explained. On August 31, 2016, he switched parties again and was officially nominated for the presidency of Moldova by Our Party, led by Renato Usatii, a politician known for his pro-Russian views and ties to Moscow. He received 6.03% of the votes in the first round. In 2019, he ran for parliament on the Our Party list but did not secure a seat. He later resigned from the party while serving as deputy chairman. In recent years, Ciubasenco has appeared as a political commentator on television. In 2024, he frequently shared articles from the portal www.traditia.md, "an informational platform for Orthodox believers in Moldova," which also publishes political commentary. "I don't want to share this distinction with Saakashvili, who on March 2, 2005, came to Chisinau to support the Party of Communists led by Vladimir Voronin, with whom he was then opposing Russia. I refuse to be associated with Saakashvili, who promotes an anti-Russian policy and ignited the war in South Ossetia and Abkhazia," Dumitru Ciubasenco stated. |
