MEP Gyöngyösi: EU must stand by Moldova

MEP Márton Gyöngyösi’s (Non-attached) thoughts via press release:
We have seen more and more worrying signs coming from the little country of Moldova wedged between Romania and Ukraine. Ever since the current pro-West government got into power, presumably Moscow-organized street protests have been going on, while the Ukraine war keeps bringing down the economy in one of Europe’s poorest countries: due to the energy shortage, the now regular power outages are coupled with sky-rocketing inflation.
Although their plan was foiled by the strong Ukrainian resistance, it is still a fact that Moldova’s airspace is repeatedly violated by Russian missiles, which clearly shows how much Moscow respects the independence of a small country moving towards the EU.
To make matters worse, the last few days have seen a significant escalation of events in Moldova: first they had to close their airspace due to a drone flying over the country, followed by the government’s announcement that there was a realistic threat of a pro-Russia coup. Exhausted by the constant crisis management, the government resigned just after that.
Clearly, Moldova can only rely on the European Union in terms of its economy as well as the protection of its national sovereignty. In the meantime, the EU, which has already granted a membership candidate status to Moldova, must do its utmost to guarantee the small Eastern European country’s security.
