In controversy over ethnic and linguistic identity in Moldova, Marian Lupu identifies himself as an ethnic Moldovan and supported retention of "Moldovan language" in Constitution as state language of Moldova. Though in 2010, in the TV talk-show "În profunzime" on ProTV Chișinău, Marian Lupu stated: "From a scientific point of view, I speak Romanian, from a political point of view – I speak Moldovan!”.[6] After two years, in the same talk-show Lupu stated: "I changed my mind. Scientifically is not Romanian anymore, as I said previously, but the Moldovan [language].”[7] Lupu supports the idea of the existence of the Moldovan people and Moldovan nation and the idea that Moldova is a distinct entity apart from Romania.
