Victory for democracy in Moldova, congratulations to all Moldovans

This is a victory for democracy, a victory for Europe, a victory for an extraordinary woman and a victory for the Moldovan citizens who are eager for their country to finally take the path of economic, social and political reform.

I warmly congratulate the President of Moldova, Maia Sandu, for this clear victory in Sunday's snap elections. After Maia Sandu's victory in the presidential elections in November 2020, this excellent result in the parliamentary elections is a sign that Moldovans want to turn the page and write a new history for their country, towards Europe and its democratic values and respect for the rule of law.

Dacian Cioloş, president of the Renew Europe group said:

"I stand by the newly elected Parliament in the implementation of promised legislation and reforms. Moldova can count on the EU’s full support for building better living standards and improving democracy for its citizens.”

Dacian Cioloş concluded: "Today's vote gives us great hope that the Republic of Moldova is a success story for Europe."
