The delegation, which was probably created to give Igor Dodon somewhat official status, consisted of the Mayor of Gagauzia, Irina Vlah; the mayor of Chisinau, Ion Ceban; the vice president of Parliament, the socialist Vlad Bătrîncea; and the President of Parliament, Zinaida Greceanii.
In an interview for the Russian television station Rossia24, the journalist asked Igor Dodon why he came to Moscow immediately after Maia Sandu took office, especially for Christmas.
Dodon implied that it is not a problem for him to have Christmas gatherings, because he celebrates Christmas in the old way, that is, on January 7, but not on December 25. Igor Dodon also explained why he decided to come to Moscow immediately.
“I consider the day’s agenda with Moscow for the Republic of Moldova to be very important. I believe that the Russian Federation is our strategic partner,” Dodon said.
After Igor Dodon boasted in the interview that, on his initiative, Parliament voted on the amendments allowing the broadcasting of Russian news and political programs on the territory of the Republic of Moldova, through which the Russian language received the status of inter-ethnic communication language and by Igor Dodon was asked what status he has during his visit to Moscow, in the context in which he no longer holds any position in the state.
At that time, Igor Dodon goes through embarrassing moments. Igor Dodon paused hesitantly and asked the journalist what he meant by this question. The journalist explained that she wants to know who Igor Dodon is now “former president, politician or retired.” Igor Dodon smiled and said it was too early to be considered a “pensioner” at 45. At the same time, when he was left without state positions, Igor Dodon wanted to get out of the confusion after the journalist’s question and emphasized that, on December 30, in the Congress of the Socialist Party, he will be elected president. Here Igor Dodon also stressed that the Socialist Party “is the largest party in Moldova”.
When asked why on the website of the Presidency of the Republic of Moldova the Moldovan language was replaced by the Romanian language, after Maia Sandu took office, Igor Dodon said that this is explained by the fact that Maia Sandu is also a citizen of Romania.
