The new president of Moldova on Tuesday stripped a former Romanian leader of his Moldovan citizenship over calls for the two countries to become one.
Igor Dodon took to Facebook to say that former Romanian President Traian Băsescu had “urged repeatedly the liquidation of Moldovan statehood through annexation to Romania.” He added that Băsescu, who stepped down in 2014 after 10 years in office, refused to recognize the existence of the Moldovan people and Moldovan statehood while he was president of Romania. [...]
Băsescu and his wife became Moldovan citizens in November 2016. He said at the time it was a dream come true as he felt linked to Moldova through a common culture and language, according to Romanian media.
