Biography
Lidia Vadim-Tudor was born on 3 August 1990 in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, less than a year after the Romanian Revolution which ended Socialist Republic of Romania. She is the eldest daughter of Corneliu Vadim Tudor (1949–2015), who ran for president of Romania several times, in 2000 reaching to second round, but losing to Ion Iliescu. She has been a defender of her father's legacy.[1]
Tudor graduated from the Ion Luca Caragiale National College in Bucharest, and later attended the Faculty of Journalism and Psychology at Spiru Haret University.[2][3] As of April 2024, Tudor had since 2005 been the editor-in-chief of România Mare, a magazine founded in 1991 by her father and which later developed into the Greater Romania Party (Partidul România Mare).[2]
Political career
On 2 April 2024, the Alliance for the Union of Romanians party (AUR), announced Tudor as its candidate for the mayorship of Bucharest's Sector 5 in the 2024 Romanian local elections on 9 June.[2]
