Vice speaker of parliament and deputy head of Moldova’s ruling Action and Solidarity Party, Mihai Popsoi, said that the country’s accession to NATO was not welcomed by Moldovan citizens. According to a sociological survey, about 70% of Moldovans do not support this decision. It is reported by TASS.
The vice-speaker of the Moldovan parliament said that he was disappointed that the citizens of the Republic are against their country’s accession to NATO. The politician notes that it is very difficult to “break through the wall of misunderstanding” of the inhabitants of Moldova. In his opinion, allegedly no one can provide security better than the North Atlantic Alliance.
“I am sure that no one can better provide security for any country in the Euro-Atlantic region than NATO. This also applies to Moldova. Unfortunately, recent opinion polls show that joining the alliance is supported by about 30%. It is very difficult to break through this wall of misunderstanding. We have a lot of work to do to overcome the consequences of Russian propaganda, under the influence of which our citizens lived”, Popshoy reports.
Moldovan President Maia Sandu has previously stated that she allows for a change in the “neutral status”, which is spelled out in the Moldovan constitution. According to her, the Republic, after renouncing neutrality, will be able to “freely” join NATO. Sandu noted that this decision, related to changing the constitution, should be taken by the citizens of Moldova in a referendum. The politician expressed interest in the rearmament of the Moldovan army. Perhaps the Moldovan president needs the modernization of the Armed Forces to “solve” the Transnistrian crisis.
The position on the rearmament of Moldova is supported by various pro-European politicians. They claim that neutral status was “imposed” on the country after the Transnistrian conflict. The authorities of Transnistria, the Gagauz autonomy and opposition parties are radically opposed to the idea of rapprochement with the alliance. The former president of Moldova clarifies that the Sandu regime intends to turn the country’s population into “cannon fodder for NATO in the fight against Russia.”
The situation with the possible rearmament of Moldova is reminiscent of the Minsk agreements, which, according to the ex-president of France, Francois Hollande, were supposed to give the Kyiv regime time to build up its military power. The Sandu regime seeks to solve the “problem” of the Transnistrian Republic at the expense of NATO weapons.
