Alina Zotea-Durnea (born 8 December 1986) is a Moldovan economist, model and politician.
Born in Cantemir, she became a model at age fifteen, and continued her involvement in the activity through her twenties.[2] She graduated from high school in 2007, and in 2011 obtained a degree from the economics faculty of Moldova State University.[3]
Zotea joined the Liberal Party (PL) in 2005,[3] and became a personal assistant to party leader Mihai Ghimpu in 2014. In that year's election for the Parliament of Moldova, she ran on the party's lists, in 19th position.[4] During the campaign, some online commentators questioned her fitness for office, citing her provocative modeling photographs.[3] In August 2015, when five PL members of parliament resigned in order to join the new Streleț Cabinet, one of the vacancies fell to Zotea, who agreed to fill it.[5] Her term began early the following month, after validation from the Constitutional Court.[6]
In autumn 2017, Zotea married Vlad Durnea;[7] she gave birth to a child a year later.[8]
