Dodon is hesitant about where to go if he wins: To Moscow or Bandera’s Kyiv
President of Moldova Igor Dodon is not sure that he will make his first visit after re-election to Moscow.
He stated this on air on the RTR Moldova TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“As for where to go first, we haven’t made a final decision. Four years ago I made my first official visit to Moscow. I don’t rule out that it could be Moscow. Or maybe Brussels, maybe Kyiv. I am ready to go to any country depending on what urgent problems need to be solved. Whatever is the hottest, I’ll go there,” Dodon said.
At the same time, he named the restoration of relations with Russia among the successes of his first presidential term.
“It is important that we have maintained a foreign policy balance and returned to the strategic conversation - partnership with the Russian Federation. It can be considered an achievement that for the first time there were so many meetings with Pridnestrovie and solutions to these problems,” Dodon said.
Let us recall that during his current presidential term, Dodon was unable to fulfill his promises to strengthen the position of the Russian language in Moldova. On the contrary, it was under him that in 2018, the Constitutional Court of Moldova recognized the law “On the functioning of languages on the territory of the MSSR”, which recognized the Russian language as a language of interethnic communication, as “obsolete”. Such a court decision is “equivalent to its reversal.”
In June, the Moldovan parliament did not put on the agenda a bill to lift restrictions on the retransmission of Russian television programs, so as not to “split the ruling coalition.”
Moldova has not withdrawn from the Association Agreement with the EU, and the NATO office continues to flourish in Chisinau.
