Moscow’s violent attack on Maia Sandu. The President of the Republic of Moldova, accused of Nazism, in an interview by Maria Zaharova for Tass

The policy of the president of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, is comparable to the experiments of the Third Reich in terms of people’s nationality and language, said the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zaharova, in an interview with the TASS state agency , in which he made comparisons with Nazism, a narrative also used in the case of the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, writes News.ro.

“As for (Maia) Sandu, you know, I think it’s comparable to the experiments of the Third Reich. Only then and there did they experiment with people’s nationality, with their language,” said Maria Zaharova, in the interview granted to Tass.

The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman recalled that documentary literature and history describe “how the Third Reich forced newspaper workers to use a different font.”

“The font of the newspapers had to correspond precisely to this idea of ​​Aryans – pure-blood Aryans, what they invented there: the shape of the nose, the ears, the shape of the skull, the forehead, the location of the eyes and so on. A clear categorization of people. Of course, the eugenics, which then took off”, emphasized Zaharova.

Drawing a parallel with the politics of the Third Reich, the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry went further and pointed out that, similarly, Maia Sandu “literally rewrote the people, without asking them, again according to a template – he placed and circled the necessary features, the rest were cut, painted and thrown away”.

Maia Sandu, TASS mentions, approved a parliamentary decision on changing the name of the state language from Moldovan to Romanian in 2023.

“In a second, the Moldovan language, with a stroke of the Sandu government’s pen, turned into the Romanian language. And what is this but elements of genocide against an entire people?” – she commented.

Zaharova claims that the first question she asks when she meets Moldovan citizens is about the language they speak: “Tell me, what language do you speak?”.

“They answer: of course, in the Moldovan language. From a historical point of view, the Moldovan language is older than the Romanian language”, Zaharova stated, resuming a thesis she supported last year.

Maia Sandu is, according to Maria Zaharova, “a transmitter of the same Nazi ideas, ideologies, philosophical visions, which are paid for by the West”.

“I think this is comparable to either the policy of the Third Reich or the way the colonizers left Africa, drawing the borders of countries with just a ruler on the map, making people suffer, that is, deliberately condemning people to future bloody conflicts, having such an opportunity at that time”, concluded Zaharova.

The propaganda thesis of Nazism was used by Moscow to justify its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Moscow frequently accuses President Volodymyr Zelensky of Nazism, even though he has Jewish origins.

In the press briefing held on Wednesday, Maria Zaharova had, as she does periodically, even weekly lately, an extensive comment about the “situation in the Republic of Moldova”, in which she condemned, using similar terms, the fact that Chisinau celebrates May 9 Europe day.

In Chisinau, the country’s pro-European authorities wanted to mark Victory Day in the context of May 9 being also Europe Day.

The Head of State, Maia Sandu, together with the European Commissioner Johannes Hahn, who came especially to Chisinau, several local officials and the European Union Ambassador to Moldova, Janis Mazeiks, were at the “Eternitate” Memorial Complex on Thursday morning to commemorate the fallen in World War II.

“Today we commemorate our countrymen who fought in the Second World War to restore peace to the continent. Today we celebrate peace, because May 9, 1945 was the first day of peace on our continent. And today we celebrate Europe, Europe being the most sustainable and successful peace project”, emphasized Maia Sandu.

The head of the Moldovan state said that May 9 is a day that reminds her “how vulnerable peace is, how dramatic war is” and emphasized that absolutely everything must be done to prevent wars on the continent and in the world in general.
