Grzegorczyk sees this as confirmation that the country’s sustained economic reforms and robust performance are yielding positive results. Furthermore, he asserts that Moldova’s definitive move towards the West, a shift that truly gained momentum in 2020 with President Maia Sandu’s election, is now irreversible.

The journalist emphasizes that President Sandu’s strategic call for a referendum is a deliberate and intelligent move aimed at consolidating support. However, he expresses concerns about potential concerted efforts by Russia to disrupt the electoral process.
