Survey: Nearly half of Moldovans against uniting with Romania, slightly less in favor

Around 47.7% of people in the Republic of Moldova are against a union with Romania, while 42.3% are in favor, according to a survey conducted by IData Barometer and cited by News.ro.

The question of a union between the two countries was brought to international attention back in January, when Moldovan president Maia Sandu said she would vote for such a process. “If we had a referendum, I would vote for the unification with Romania,” Sandu told two podcast hosts.
