Chisinau, Oct 24 /MOLDPRES/- President Maia Sandu urges citizens to show unity and good understanding. The head of state came with an appeal following the October 20 first round of the presidential elections, which sparked xenophobic reactions and hate speeches on social networks.

"Dear citizens, we have won so many times in complicated and unfair battles only because we stood united. We have proven many times that evil can be defeated - with love of nation and faith. With faith in each other.

I ask you very much to take care of our unity. Let us not divide people by ethnicity, let us not blame citizens who voted one way or another. We are all part of Moldova. We all live here and we want it to be good. The enmity of people only helps those who want to bring thieves back to power.

Our people have known, even in the hardest times, how to live together in good understanding, to build a home, a village, a country. Humanity unites us and we want the same thing - peace and well-being at home," reads Maia Sandu's message posted on social networks.

In the presidential elections held on October 20, current president Maia Sandu and candidate of the Party of Socialists Alexandr Stoianoglo won the most votes. The two candidates will fight in the runoff election on November 3.

On October 27, Maia Sandu and Alexandr Stoianoglo will meet at an electoral debate at the Palace of the Republic.
