The pro-Russian Igor Dodon wants to rename the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova to the Party of Sovereignists.

“Igor Dodon, the leader of the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova, intends to change the name of the party to the Sovereignists Party, stating that the current doctrine of PSRM is closer to sovereignism than socialism.”This is the future, and we are not only talking about the Republic of Moldova, but also about what is happening with our neighbors and in the region. PSRM could become the Sovereignists Party of the Republic of Moldova in time,” announced the PSRM leader in an interview with “Unimedia.info.”According to Dodon, this is “a strategic decision that will be discussed with colleagues, a very serious matter. If we look at the trends in Europe, the doctrine promoted by PSRM is more sovereignist than socialist. The socialists in the EU are not against LGBT, for example, while we are more conservative and sovereignist.”Similar speech to that of Călin Georgescu
Igor Dodon’s speeches, as leader of the pro-Russian PSRM and former president of the Republic of Moldova, have recently shown similarities to those of sovereignist Călin Georgescu. However, his views are not sovereign, but rather reflect Moscow’s interests, according to experts consulted recently by “Adevărul.”Former pro-Russian president of the Republic of Moldova, Igor Dodon, who is currently being investigated in several criminal cases in his country and holds no position in the state institutions, emphasized to journalists during an anti-government protest on February 22 in Chișinău that “we are Eurosceptics. We are sovereignists.”The socialist insists that his party is sovereignist, and his speech is reminiscent of that of pro-Russian Călin Georgescu, after the sovereignist garnered a large number of votes in the first round of the presidential elections last fall in Romania.”We, the socialists, are sovereignists, unlike the majority of other parties, who are integrationists. We advocate for respect for national interests, maintaining the freedom of our state in actions and decisions,” noted Igor Dodon on his Facebook page.For example, Igor Dodon criticized the 1.9 billion euro support offered to his country by the EU, stating that “it is not real aid, but another step towards excessive indebtedness of the country,” and that if the PSRM were to return to power, it would find ways to develop the country without European funding, as Călin Georgescu has also previously affirmed, stating that Romania does not need European funds to develop.Read more HERE.”
