Nearly all votes counted in Moldova’s EU referendum show a close result, says FRANCE 24 English

As Moldova’s EU referendum results are on a knife-edge, with nearly all votes counted, the country awaits the final outcome that will shape its future relationship with the European Union. Voters in Moldova recently participated in two crucial polls, including a presidential election and a referendum on joining the EU.

Incumbent President Maia Sandu, who is the frontrunner seeking a second term in office, fell short of the majority needed to avoid a second round of voting. The results of these elections will have significant implications for Moldova’s future trajectory and its relationship with the EU.

The referendum on joining the EU has ignited passionate debates and discussions among Moldovan citizens about the benefits and drawbacks of closer integration with the European bloc. The outcome of this referendum will not only impact Moldova’s economic and political landscape but will also shape its position in the international arena.

As the final votes are tallied and the country awaits the official results, the future direction of Moldova hangs in the balance. Stay tuned for more updates on this significant development.
