Ok so what's next
๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ Something you don't probably know is that people from Transnistria did vote also on this referendum.

60% against the EU membership. However, a non despicable 40% did vote in favour. This surprises me as we are talking about a traditionally pro Russian region/country.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บโ€” The results of the referendum being so close isn't Russia's fault as much as /PAS/bros like to think. The number of elders & teenagers who coincide with Russian beliefs is still quite relevant to this day, despite 35 years since the break-off from the USSR.

Noteworthy: Maia Sandu's regime has been critiqued even by non-mainstream Romanian press for dictatorial tendencies. A number of Moldovans are not necessarily fans of Maia Sandu but still support joining the EU, giving this contrast between Maia Sandu's percentage in the presidential elections and the referendum.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บโ€” Nicolae Eศ™anu, Moldova's former representative to the Venice commission: We have reached the absolute worst outcome. Despite the "YES" option coming out on 1st place, the slim margin essentially reduces the legitimacy to amend the constitution

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บโ€” Most Moldovan news outlets claim the outcome will be "YES" because of the only remaining vote being the diaspora. We await the 100%.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐ŸŽ™โšก๏ธ Although she was supposed to speak at 3:00 local hours, Maia Sandu unexpectedly held her press release early at 1:30.

Instead of thanking her supporters for voting her and giving her the lead in this election, Sandu chose to focus on what she called "an unprecedented assault on Moldova's freedom and democracy".

She again names "criminal groups" who have "attacked" Moldova using "millions of EURs" to allegedly "buy 300k votes".

To be fair, at the time when she said this, there was a 10% gap between the No and Yes vote on the referendum on the EU but in hindsight, maybe Sandu should've just kept quiet until the diaspora vote had been counted.
