Romania is a reliable ally and a support both socially and economically. The Strategic Partnership we have will be strengthened. I thank the Moldovan citizens, and especially those from the Diaspora, for coming out in large numbers to the polls, for mobilizing in an exemplary way and shouldering a new victory that shattered the vote-buying machine and massive Russian propaganda .Dear Moldovans, you have written history for all the brothers across the Prut”, is Nicolae Ciucă’s post.

The plans of the Kremlin can be carried out by every man of good faith who understands and uses the power of the stamp he receives upon entering the voting booth. Congratulations, Maia Sandu, for the power to lead this unequal fight for the common good, this unequal fight for resources, this hard fight with misinformation, with money for votes! You are a model! You are talking about a large family that mobilized. Yes, the power of family coming together is impossible to ignore.
