Maia Sandu said last night, during the debates at Moldova 1, that has Romanian citizenship inclusively, but this will not influence her position as President. In turn, Igor Dodon, said that the person who aspires to the office of the president "must give up the citizenship of another country".

"What I feel towards Romaniais my business, it is my feeling. I know that Moldovan citizens do not want Union today and I will do what will say Moldovan citizens. We can make order at home with the support of outsiders. I must remind you that Igor Dodon voted for a unionist president and then there was a problem," said Maia Sandu.

"We need a serious president, that will ensure good relations with all countries. Let us see what can offer us Igor Dodon. He managed to quarrel us with Ukraine. Do we really need problems with Ukraine by the fact that he recognized Crimea, forgetting that we also have a problem in Transnistria? He managed to quarrel us with Romania, which he accuses it for everything in this world," she also said.

In turn, Igor Dodon asked Maia Sandu to give up this citizenship if she wants to aspire to high positions in the state.

"My opinion is that when a person goes into a supreme function in the state, should not have the citizenship of another country. She must give up the citizenship of another state, because she receives a salary from the taxes paid by the citizens of this state. We must only serve the interests of this state," said Igor Dodon in an election debate with Maia Sandu, organized by television station Moldova1 with Promo-LEX.

"Mrs. Sandu, remember that oath you made when you received Romanian citizenship? You have sworn to be devoted to Romanian homeland and Romanian people, to defend the national rights and interests of Romania, to obey (...) Romania's laws. Let us ask a very simple question: (...) what will do the President of Moldova? What Constitution will defend? What citizens' rights? Citizens and national interests of Moldova or national interests of another state? (...) Leaders must have the citizenship of one State, the Republic of Moldova," said the candidate of the Socialist Party of Moldova (PSRM).

Igor Dodon, the candidate of the pro-Russian Party of Socialists from Moldova (PSRM), and Maia Sandu, the pro-European candidate of the Party "Action and Solidarity" (PAS), are facing the runoff of the presidential elections which will take place on Sunday in Moldova, which is considered crucial for the country's future.
