About Mircea Druc

Born 1941. Mircea Druc is a Romanian, Moldovan and Russian politician, diplomat, tractor driver, economist, philologist and university teacher.

Mircea Druc (born 25 July 1941) is a Moldovan and Romanian politician who served as Prime Minister of Moldova between 26 May 1990 and 22 May 1991.

He was appointed as Prime Minister after the opposition walked out of the Parliament, in protest to the policies of the nationalist Popular Front of Moldova.

His government purged non-Moldovans from cultural institutions and changed the outlook of the education system to be centred towards Romanian-language education, away from the Russian-centric education system of the Soviet era. Street names and the symbols of the state were changed to show the Romanian heritage of Moldova. After his dismissal he came under scrutiny for questionable financial dealings. He was also accused of promoting subjugation of the Russian speakers. He is currently working at the Commerce and Industry Chamber of Romania, involved in projects for transborder cooperation between Romania, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine.

In the 2008 Romanian legislative election, Druc ran for a place in the Romanian Parliament in a constituency in Suceava County, being a candidate of the Democratic Liberal Party.
