Tens of thousands rally in Moldova for EU membership

Thousands of people have rallied in Moldova's capital Chisinau to back the government’s drive to join the European Union.
Demonstrators called on political leaders to amend the constitution to specifically mention the country’s European orientation.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has pushed its leaders to seek a quick path to EU membership.

Moldova is smart. They don’t want to go the Belarus route.

[eurobonapartiste]

Hope to see Moldova soon as a full member of our glorious Union

[SeeLasSee]

I wish them well but 7 years seems awfully soon. A large long strange strip of their country is occupied by a Russia. EU membership more than NATO is what Russia objected to for Ukraine. (NATO is just easier to blame without seeming completely controlling).

EU is a disaster .Now hundreds of thousands of Moldavian’s will leave Moldova to move to Western European countries.

[felipe-vibor]

Would we also be safe to say European union is also interfering in Moldovan affairs?

[ASK-hyvn]

Hope we shall not experience a Moldexit there after.

[GhettoGreg]

10s of thousands rally to shoot themselves in the foot

[St-lan]

europe is already poor. governments are good enough to help with the cost of living, old people can't survive on state pensions alone and to include some of these nations into europe leaves no room for recovery or properity .

Big mistake. Not educated I suppose, so they'll suffer the consequences of their poor judgement.
