Dodon: I Don’t Accept the Results of the Referendum, but I Am Ready to Hold It in 2025

During Tuesday’s In direct cu Igor Dodon platform, the politician said that “the referendum was initially illegal and cannot serve as a basis for amending the Constitution.” According to him, “the referendum was a cunning ploy by Maia Sandu, but 54% of citizens inside the country did not fall for it and voted against it,” infotag.md reports. “Even with the diaspora in the EU, this referendum failed. The 50.3% that the Moldovan authorities boast of, which they consider sufficient to amend the Constitution, was the result of 11,000 votes from the US and Canada. The polling stations there closed much later. They saw how many were missing and added what they needed. You don’t care about the opinion of 54% of citizens living in the country? Do you want to cede Moldova’s sovereignty to Brussels based on the votes of 22.5% of the population?” the politician asked rhetorical questions, considering that “the deed of the Moldovan authorities is a crime”. Dodon emphasized that ‘consequences will follow, people understand everything and will come out en masse and vote against the current government”. “You have set a precedent. Do you think it will be impossible to hold another referendum next year? Easy!”, he outlined.
