Igor Dodon leads the Republic of Moldova to a union that is ten times poorer than the European Union. For the people to understand towards what precipice he pushes the country, they should only make a comparison between the European Union and the European democratic countries, on the one hand, and the Eurasian Union and the Russian Federation on the other hand, suggested MEP Siegfried Muresan, quoted by IPN.
In a statement, Siegfried Muresan says the European Union has always supported the Republic of Moldova, including by allocating €746 million during seven years of the signing of the Association Agreement. In 2014, the visas were abolished so that the Moldovan could travel anywhere in Europe. The EU also helped the fruit and vegetable producers when the Russian Federation imposed a ban on Moldovan products.
“The European Union supports, with money and by the expertise of its specialists, the fight against corruption and oligarchs who captured the Republic of Moldova during the past 27 years. What has the Russian Federation done in the period? It imposed a ban on the import of Moldovan products, leaving the economy of the Republic of Moldova without one of its main sources and yearly robs Moldova of almost €380 million for gas,” added the MEP.
Siegfried Muresan also said that President Igor Dodon has the obligation to come out before the Moldovans after 100 days in office and explain to them the real reason for which he wants to reverse Moldova’s European course to democracy and welfare and to lead it to a poor alliance of states that promotes Moscow’s interests.
