Nicolae Ciuca, at the meeting with PNL Moldova members: We have crossed and will cross the Prut whenever we need to!

Representatives of the National Liberal Party (PNL) are increasingly crossing the Prut River to forge closer bonds with their compatriots. Strengthening connections between the two banks of the Prut within the same party was highlighted as a key objective during a meeting with members of the PNL Diaspora Republic of Moldova, stated Nicolae Ciuca, leader of PNL and President of the Romanian Senate, at an event held in Chisinau.

Ciuca emphasized the importance of Moldova and Romania continuing on their shared path towards European integration for the well-being of their citizens. He underscored the tangible benefits of EU integration, citing examples such as Romania’s significantly higher minimum wage and pension compared to Moldova. He noted the increasing recognition among Moldovan citizens of these benefits, particularly in this crucial election year for both countries.

Regarding the threat of extremism, Ciuca stressed the need to counter empty promises that breed chaos and division. He reaffirmed Romania’s unwavering support for Moldova and commended Adrian Dupu, Chairman of PNL Diaspora Republic of Moldova, for promoting liberal values across the Prut River.
