CHISINAU, October 11 - RIA Novosti. In recent years, Moldova has become a puppet of EU countries that promote war-like and self-destructive policies, says ex-president and leader of the opposition Social Party Igor Dodon.
“In recent years, the Republic of Moldova has turned into a small and politically blind player, has become a puppet of other blind players from the European Union, who are promoting a pro-war and self-destructive geopolitics. The EU is no longer what it was before,” Dodon wrote in the Telegram channel.
According to him, Moldova could learn from Slovakia, Hungary, Georgia and other small or medium-sized countries that pay great attention to the well-being of their people and economic security.
He stated that the Moldovan authorities chose instead to receive awards and medals abroad at the cost of “servility, energy disaster and catastrophic impoverishment of the country’s population.” Dodon notes that serious changes are coming in the world and Moldova risks being left behind - due to the inflexibility of the ruling Action and Solidarity party.
