Moldova’s Sandu says she would vote for reunification with Romania  – POLITICO

by · POLITICO

Moldovan President Maia Sandu said she would vote to reunify with Romania if the issue ever goes to a referendum, saying it was becoming harder for her country to “survive” on its own. 

With a population of about 2.4 million people sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine, Moldova has become a target for Russian hybrid warfare, including disinformation and election manipulation.  

“If we have a referendum, I would vote for the unification with Romania,” Sandu, who leads the pro-European government in Chișinău, told British podcast The Rest is Politics.
