Dodon's case risks turning into settling scores for political reasons — the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stressed that the events related to the criminal case and the detention of ex-President Dodon are an internal matter of Moldova.
However, the Russian Foreign Ministry expects that Igor Dodon's rights and freedoms guaranteed by law will be respected.
Otherwise, this Dodon case risks turning into a settling of scores for political reasons.
The main one is that Dodon belongs to the forces that advocate the development of dialogue with Russia," Zakharova said.
The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that "the more politicians associate themselves with Western liberal values, the more they show totalitarian habits in cracking down on opponents. Such a pattern."
