The US President, Joe Biden, addressed the President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, during the speech delivered on Tuesday, February 21, in Warsaw, Poland, asking the audience to applaud her. The press service of the Presidency had not officially announced that our head of state would go there.
“Democracies around the world are stronger, not weaker. The world’s autocracies are weaker, not stronger. In times of turmoil, people understand what is important and what they need to fight for. People know it, you know it. In fact, you in Poland know better than anyone what solidarity means, and what it means to fight against oppression. We remember how Warsaw was destroyed in the Second World War and what Poland had to go through under the communist regime. And now people in other places, like Belarus, continue to fight for their democracy. We want the people of Moldova to live in freedom, and to gain their independence. Madam President Sandu, we are proud to stand with you. A round of applause for the lady president” said, Joe Biden.
