His latest outburst was against the Metropolitan seat of Bessarabya (subject to the Patriarchy of the Romanian Orthodox Church), which he accused of corruption. As if seized by a dictatorial fever, Vladimir Voronin tries to set rules on everything that comes to his way: from the Christmas Tree that he renamed the "Country's Tree", to Santa Claus that is about to come in front of the children dressed up in a fluffy fur coat, with a lamb cap on his head and a Moldavian wallet.

According to Voronin's statements, "corruption also exists among the clerics, and all the violations of the church decrees are covered within the Metropolitan seat of Bessarabya".
