“Moldova needs strong and reliable partners who can act pragmatically in today’s unstable world and who serve as a model of patriotism and of defending national interests. Hungary is a clear example of such a policy, one that Moldova can look to,” said Igor Dodon, the leader of the Socialists, during his visit to Budapest, TRIBUNA reports.

The Socialist leader stated that the party he heads will consistently strengthen its relations with patriotic forces in Europe — both with those already in government (Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Italy and others) and with those that, in the near future, may come to power in their respective countries.

“This process has already begun and can no longer be stopped. The Republic of Moldova is next in line in the patriotic trend seen in Europe and around the world,” Igor Dodon emphasized.
