The President of the European People's Party of Moldova, Iurie Leanca, notified the Central Electoral Commission regarding the electoral booklets of the Socialist Party "The Romanian gendarme will not be our master!". According to the politician, they bring insult and instigate hatred.

"These informational materials are insulting a big part of the population from the Republic of Moldova. They are materials that instigate hatred towards Romania, which is not only our neighboring state, a partner and friend, but also a member of the European Union. Therefore, such an offensive address is made towards EU. I cannot allow some politicians, like Igor Dodon, to make such absolutely groundless and insulting accusations to EU and member states", he stated.

In this matter, Iurie Leanca requested the Central Electoral Commission " to analyze and find the illegal character of these materials", and force Dodon to withdraw.

Consecutively, the CEC president, Alina Russu, stated that the Commission is about to examine and comment this matter.
