“We deserve a better life,” “That’s where we have to go,” or “Maybe join, but don’t make it worse.” These are just some of the opinions of Cahul residents when asked what they think about the European Union and Moldova’s European integration.
“I am thrilled that the Republic of Moldova has started this process of joining the European Union. I believe that we, the citizens, must have a better life and respect human rights, and yes. I believe that Moldova should join the European Union. We deserve a better life”, said a resident of Cahul.
Moldovans hope that after EU membership, they will live better and be more independent. At the same time, young people say that European integration would open up opportunities for them in the social and educational fields.
“Firstly, the European Union offers Moldova a welcoming family from which we have much to learn. The European Union is an example of democracy, where authorities respect human freedoms and the quality of life is higher. This process of integration of the Republic of Moldova into the European Union is a process of development of the Republic of Moldova,” said a resident of Cahul.
The Vox, which took place in the city of Cahul, is part of the campaign launched by the REALITATEA Press Group: “Moldova Chooses Europe,” in which we go to cities across the country and talk to citizens about Moldova’s accession to the European Union.
