Vitalia Pavlicenco (born 29 October 1953) is a Moldovan politician. She was the head of the National Liberal Party (Moldova).
Vitalia Pavlicenco was born on October 29, 1953, in Grinăuţi. She grew up without a father because her father Victor Vangheli, a math and history teacher at the village school, was killed on June 26, 1953, at the age of 24, four months before Vitalia was born.[1] Her mother, Agafia Vangheli, was a teacher of Romanian and French.
After the collapse of the USSR, Vitalia Pavlicenco became the first deputy director general of the National Press Agency "Moldova-Pres" (1990–1994) and then editor-in-chief of Mesagerul (1994–1998).
She served as member of the Parliament of Moldova (1998–2001, 2005–2009). She also held the positions of vice-president of the Union of Journalists from the Republic of Moldova and vice-president of the Romanian World Council.
Vitalia Pavlicenco is married to Sergiu Pavlicenco, a hispanist professor at the State University of Moldova. The two have a daughter together, Beatriz Pavlicenco who is a violinist and lives in Germany.[2] At one point, the Pavlicenco family lived in Cuba, where their daughter, Beatriz, was also born.[3]
