Sandu Refuted the Statements About Banning the Metropolis of All Moldova

President Maia Sandu called a lie the fact that the PAS intends to ban the Metropolis of Moldova after the statement of MP Vasile Soimaru, made this week on a TV program. “There is no danger for any of the Metropolises. On the contrary, in these four years we have done more than anyone else to promote peace and good understanding between these metropolises. We have relationships with both. Every time I meet with the Metropolis of Moldova and the Metropolis of Bessarabia, I convey to them the message that we need unity and peace for the sake of the citizens of the Republic of Moldova. I thank them for their contribution to the development of our society and the preservation of this peace. The deputy’s statements have nothing to do with reality. We have promoted and will continue to promote peace and Christian morality,” the head of state said deschide.md reports. Recall that Vasile Soimaru, a member of the PAS faction in parliament, said in a televised broadcast on August 28 that “the time is coming when we, like Ukraine, will separate from the Moldovan Metropolis, which actually belongs to Russia.” “I believe that the problem of the metropolis will be solved this autumn,” the deputy said. Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) distanced itself from the statements of MP Vasile Soimaru, who stated that the Moldovan Metropolis, canonically subordinate to Russia, may be banned in the Republic of Moldova. “This is the personal opinion of deputy Soimaru and does not reflect the position of the PAS. PAS parliamentarians have not developed any legislative initiative that would be relevant to Soimaru’s statements,” said Adriana Vlas, a spokeswoman for the ruling party.
