One of the most prestigious international publications, Die Presse, a leading European newspaper published in Vienna, Austria, recently featured an article discussing the political and social situation in the Republic of Moldova regarding the critical decision of EU membership, reports TRIBUNA.
Thomas Seifert, editor-in-chief of europeanvoices.eu, analyzes the tensions and challenges facing our country at this crucial moment in his article.
The article centers on the opinion of Eremei Priseajniuc, vice president of the Party of European Social Democrats (ESDP) and responsible for international relations. He clearly emphasized his party’s strong pro-European stance, stating that the future of the Republic of Moldova lies within the European Union and that supporting the referendum for European integration is essential.
In the interview with the international publication, Eremei Priseajniuc discussed the dangers Moldova faces in this tense regional context: ”Pro-Russian forces rely on historical narratives and ideological tactics. They spread false information about the European Union, claiming, for example, that it would prevent people from practicing their religion or praying in their churches. These parties certainly receive financial support from Russia.”
On the wall of the central headquarters of the European Social Democratic Party in downtown Chisinau, a banner with enormous letters reads: ”Save the referendum, save European integration.” For ESDP Vice President Eremei Priseajniuc, it is now essential for Moldova to prepare for EU membership: ”The government must focus on improving public services, reducing bureaucracy, and creating better conditions for foreign investments. Additionally, we need to combat the workforce exodus by providing opportunities for young people, encouraging them to return to Moldova and invest here.”

The Social Democrats support the country’s pro-European course, that is not solely the agenda of the governing Action and Solidarity Party (ASP) and President Maia Sandu (52 years old). The opposition criticizes the merging of the presidential elections and the referendum as a tactic to improve the chances of the governing party in the presidential elections.
This article in Die Presse highlights the international press’s attention to the situation in Moldova and the role of the PSDE, as a pro-European party, in supporting the country’s European integration. The referendum and the presidential elections in October represent a turning point for the future of the Republic of Moldova.
