"although I am a true third-generation communist."[11]

Еу грэеск молдовенеште!’ (written in Cyrillic: “I am Moldovan, I speak Moldavian”).[12][13] His brother Ivan Muntean is the leader of the obstastie association "I am Moldovan, I speak Moldovan".[14][15] In 2019, together with Mark Tkaciuk, he founded the Collective Action Party – Civic Congress.
