Maia Sandu said that she had accepted all the conditions put forward by her opponent, including that journalist Gheorghe Gonța, who called for boycotting the European integration referendum, became the moderator, tv8.md reports. ‘We believe that there should be an independent moderator, but in a situation where they insist, we will go to a debate with someone they are comfortable with. It is important for us that the debates take place so that people see how we answer questions that are important for all citizens,’ the head of state said. In the first round of elections, 42.45 per cent of voters voted for the PAS candidate Maia Sandu, while the Socialist candidate Alexandr Stoianoglo secured 25.98 per cent of votes.
