Liberal Party Event at ULIM

Students asked if they could leave U.S. Constitutional Law a few minutes early on Tuesday to attend an event at ULIM - a Liberal Party GOTV rally/event. Of course I said Yes, and I wanted to attend as well.

The Liberal Party is one of 4 parties in the governing coalition, and the current/interim President of Moldova, Mihai Ghimpu, is the leader of the Liberal Party. (The Vice Rector of ULIM, Ana Gutu, is a member of Parliament, also from the Liberal Party)

The Rector of ULIM introduced the speaker, Dorin Chirtoacă, who is the Mayor of Chisinau and a Liberal Party leader. The large lecture hall (pictured here is only one half of the lecture hall) was filled to capacity with interested students and faculty.

The young and charismatic speaker acknowledged the current election fatigue in Moldova, but encouraged students to get out and vote. In this election students will not need to return to their villages to vote; they may vote in Chisinau if they show their student ID along with the other necessary documents.

The Mayor covered a broad array of topics, and answered many questions submitted by students.
