ER Editor: So Moldova (see map) had a referendum on entry to the EU on Sunday. A yes vote would entail changes to its constitution as outlined below. AND it had a presidential election. All on the same day.
It’s odd because polling predicted a pro-EU vote would lose, albeit slimly. Which should indicate a relative lack of support for incumbent president Sandu. Sandu did indeed fall somewhat short of a 50% vote, at 42%, BUT voters apparently went against predictions, narrowly SUPPORTING EU entry in the referendum. How come? That seems contradictory. There will be another presidential election on November 3. Its incumbent president, Maia Sandu, is a Soros globalist (see featured image).
We’ve witnessed a lot of voting/election irregularities over the last few months (think: European elections in June which dictated a populist-right trend, where France and Germany then kept their globalist-centre left governments. Austria cannot seem to get a government, either, yet it voted for the right-populists, too. BC in Canada just had a postponed election result.) In other words, what the trends dictate, the actual vote doesn’t produce.

The actions of the committee members “speak of some serious irregularities,” Brunescu believes. She claimed that she counted fewer than 1,000 voters at the polling station, though the committee had “4,000 ballots.”
“They can rig the ballots,” she added, while acknowledging that she did not see the committee actually doing so.
Earlier on Sunday, Moldova’s opposition Victory alliance accused the authorities of allowing massive violations at the polling stations, claiming that hundreds of irregularities were reported during the first half of the day. The political bloc also stated that observers were outright banned from accessing some polling stations both at home and abroad “without any valid reasons.” Victory also accused the authorities of suppressing votes that it deemed undesirable. …
Five out of ten candidates criticized the referendum, arguing that it was held only to ensure Sandu’s reelection. On Sunday evening, it was reported that most voters rejected the pro-EU constitutional changes.
An interesting observation on why the pro-EU referendum might have legitimately won (did it?) —
All ballots in the presidential elections and the EU referendum have been counted in Moldova.
50.46% voted for European integration against 49.54%.

The election results in Moldova reveal why EU integration will be a disaster for the country:

Ex-Soviet state reports dramatic late turnaround in referendum on EU
Moldovan officials have said a slight majority voted ‘yes’ on seeking bloc membership, despite preliminary results indicating otherwise
RT
A knife-edge majority of Moldovans have approved incumbent pro-Western President Maia Sandu’s EU accession plans, election officials said on Monday, following an almost complete count of the ballot.
According to Moldova’s Central Electoral Commission, with 99.5% of the ballots counted, 50.4% of voters backed Sandu’s plan to enshrine integration with the EU in the former Soviet country’s constitution, while 49.6% voted against the step.
The tally came as something of a surprise, given that preliminary results issued late on Sunday had indicated that a slight majority of voters were against the move. According to media reports, the ‘yes’ camp received a last-minute push from ballots cast by Moldovans living abroad, which were counted towards the end.
The ‘yes’ vote means Moldova’s constitution will be supplemented with two new paragraphs. One will state that the identity of the Moldovans will be changed to ‘Europeans’, while the second will name integration into the EU as a strategic goal of the country.
A total of over 1.5 million people, or more than 51% of the electorate, cast their votes in Sunday’s referendum, well above the one-third required for the ballot to be considered valid.
While the referendum has revealed a nearly 50-50 split among Moldovans over EU integration, it is expected that Sandu, who is seeking a second term in office, will press ahead with the plan if reelected.
In a simultaneous presidential election held on Sunday, the incumbent leader failed to secure an absolute majority of 50% plus one vote. Sandu is now set to face off with former prosecutor general Alexandr Stoianoglo, leader of the Party of Socialists (PSRM), in a runoff scheduled for November 3. The two garnered 41.9% and 26.3% of the vote respectively in the first round.
Earlier on Monday, Sandu challenged Stoianoglo to a debate, saying that the two should present their ideas on the country’s future to the public and let Moldovans decide which path to take. Stoianoglo has accepted the challenge, but suggested the debate be held on a “neutral platform,” not those of “government-dependent media.” Sandu has been repeatedly criticized for the reported closure of news outlets that are not pro-Western, as well as for allegedly targeting opposition figures and those who do not support her EU drive.
