Moldovan presidential candidate wants to remove Romania’s history from schools

Igor Dodon, the socialist candidate for President of the Republic of Moldova, would want Romania’s history removed from the school curriculum and replaced with Moldova’s history.

“I will insist that the history of Moldova should return to schools. Our children must know the truth. There are many things in Romanian history that are not accurate,” Dodon said during the presidential debate with pro-EU candidate Maia Sandu, reports local News.ro.

In return, Sandu said that nothing good would come out if Igor Dodon starts to write the history. “He will take care of history and will not have time to fight the oligarchs, to focus on pension, corruption, the economy, his priority is to write history textbooks.”

In her opinion, the scientists should deal with history, not the politicians.

“Politicians should not interfere in it, or maybe, one day, we’ll find ourselves in the situation in which the politics dictates how Mr. Dodon’s biography will be written in books.”

The people of Moldova will elect their next President on Sunday.
