MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Moldovan government and the ruling Action and Solidarity party are going against the will of the people by choosing to get closer to NATO, deputy parliament speaker Vlad Batrincea said on Friday.
"The incumbent government's drift closer to NATO is not what people want. This shows that everything done by Action and Solidarity, Foreign Minister Mihai Popsoi, and President [Maia] Sandu is controlled from the outside," Batrincea told journalists.
The lawmaker argued that the government took no notice of the public at home, producing statements intended for the ears of its allies and donors in the United States.
