🇲🇩 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.

🇲🇩🇪🇺— 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.

🇲🇩🇪🇺— Nicolae Eșanu, 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

🇲🇩🇪🇺— Most Moldovan news outlets claim the outcome will be "YES" because of the only remaining vote being the diaspora. We await the 100%.

🇲🇩🎙⚡️ 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.

🇷🇺🗯🇲🇩 The Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Peskov, commented on the Moldovan elections:

🔸 He too alleged "irregularities" with the vote but refrained from calling the elections "stolen" unlike other Russian pundits

🔸 Peskov said it was "strange" how come the diaspora votes at the end turned the referendum in the favour of the EU party (actually, not at all surprising, Moldovan diaspora is liberal, pro-Romanian and very much anti-Russian)

🔸 Peskov called on Maia Sandu to provide evidence about the "criminal groups".

🇲🇩🗳🇪🇺 Moldovan president, Maia Sandu, on X:

The people of Moldova have spoken: our EU future will now be anchored in the constitution. We fought fairly in an unfair fight—and we won.

But the fight isn’t over. We will keep pushing for peace, prosperity, and the freedom to build our own future.

🇲🇩🗳🇪🇺 Final result of the referendum on joining the EU.

The number of votes in favor increased to nearly 50.5% thanks to the very liberal Moldovan diaspora.

Soon, Moldova will update its Constitution.
