President Maia Sandu and the “Action and Solidarity Party” (PAS) are ready to turn Moldova into an EU colony, according to representatives of the opposition party “Chance.”
Earlier on Saturday, the Central Election Commission registered the “Chance” party as a participant in the referendum on European integration.
“We will do everything possible to prevent our beloved country from being turned into an EU colony! We will defend Moldova’s independence and its right to self-determination, its own path of development, not imposed from outside! We can already see the abyss into which President Maia Sandu and the PAS ministers are dragging our republic,” the party’s statement on Telegram reads.

The opposition notes that over the past three and a half years, the authorities have managed to destroy all spheres of life in the country, from economic and social to political and even spiritual.
“Thirty years ago, during the referendum, the entire country (98%) gave a clear ‘yes’ to the independence of our country. And I am confident that on October 20, we will make the same choice again. Join us, and together we can take the first, crucial step to ensure a worthy future for our country,” the opposition urges.
The referendum on Moldova’s European integration will take place on October 20, coinciding with the presidential election. The referendum will feature a single question: “Do you support the introduction of European integration into Moldova’s constitution?”

The referendum on European integration has faced criticism from civil society and opposition forces in Moldova. In particular, the leader of the “Victory” bloc, Ilan Shor, who was banned from participating in the elections and referendum by the Central Election Commission, as well as former President and leader of the Socialist Party, Igor Dodon, former Prime Minister Vasiliy Tarlev, and other politicians have repeatedly stated in the media that the referendum is a manipulation of public opinion.
The opposition is convinced that the referendum does not reflect the people’s aspirations, but rather serves as a tool to strengthen the position of the current authorities ahead of the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections. They believe that such measures can undermine trust in democratic processes in the country.
