DISINFO: Most Moldovans are opposed to EU membership

SUMMARY

Most Moldovans are against their country joining the EU. They want to live in a sovereign, neutral, independent country that enjoys friendly relations with all its neighbours - be it Russia, Ukraine, Romania, or the European Union.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Moldova.

In a March 2024 opinion poll conducted by IDIS Viitorul, 54.5% of respondents stated they favoured Moldova's joining the EU, against 30.5% of those opposed. The results of another poll published in the same month show that 56% of Moldovans support their country's EU membership, against 28% of those who do not.
