Vlad Batrîncea (born 31 March 1981) is a Moldovan politician who currently serves as Vice President of the Parliament of Moldova (since November 2019).

[5][6][4] In that year he was part of Igor Dodon's group that left the communists, setting up the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova.

"[13] On 10 December 2015, in the applause of his fellow party colleagues, Batrîncea destroyed the map of Greater Romania, a gesture in protest against an order of the Ministry of Education through which the map was to be distributed, by donation from an association, as teaching material, in the education system for use in history lessons.

[14][15] The next day, Liberal Deputy Alina Zotea addressed a request to Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, asking him to declare Batrîncea persona non grata and to ban him from entering Romania.

Along with Mr Batrîncea was the Former Prime-Minister Zinaida Greceanîi, who did not applaude, which I find to be a proof of wisdom and moderation", said the ambassador.
