"Our Party" presidential candidate Renato Usatii voted on Sunday in favor of "Moldova to be preserved as a state, its citizens to prosper."

He told reporters on his way out of the polling station.

"Because we have a sad statistic - every four years citizens are forced to vote for change. And I want that in four years citizens do not want changes. So that Moldova has such a person who is responsible for everything, who does everything necessary for the citizens. We should adopt modern European practices. After having visited half of the countries in the world, I can say that I know better than the other candidates what best practices should be implemented. Unfortunately, the current situation in Moldova does not allow us to say that we are even on the threshold of the EU. There is still a lot of work to be done. The number one problem is the lack of politicians (in power) who are ready to work for Moldova," Usatii stressed.

According to him, it is necessary to cooperate with all countries in Moldova's interests. He urged citizens to actively participate in the voting in order "not to lose the country".

"Because if things continue like these four years, Moldova may simply disappear," the politician believes.

Usatii also emphasized that he did not participate in the constitutional referendum, which according to him has the sole purpose "so that someone could prolong the power for another four years."

However, he announced that his mother took two ballots for voting.
