The country's Constitution will include the first norm voted directly by the people and which will define the country's path for years to come and will bring the Republic of Moldova closer to the European Union. It is a decision of all the people, regardless of ethnic origin or spoken language, said WatchDog.MD expert Andrei Curăraru, who commented on the validation of the referendum outcome by the Constitutional Court, IPN reports.

"It's definitive. In 10 days, our Constitution will be more European. The people of the Republic of Moldova have decided. Not the diaspora, not Chisinau, but all the people, regardless of race, ethnic origin, language or religion," said Andrei Curăraru.

According to him, despite those political shows and meaningless letters of the Party of Communists, despite the correctional schemes designed by Shor, the people knew how to choose – to choose the European path, to choose to be one step closer to the EU.

"This historic decision makes so that the people amend the Constitution for the first time and makes that norm the most legitimate one in the Constitution, and the immediate effect will also be felt in the European projects based on the "von der Leyen project" (Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, e.n.) and in everything that means diplomacy and respect for our country, and in countering the hybrid war waged by Russia," stated the expert.

The Constitutional Court on Thursday confirmed the results of the national constitutional referendum of October 20. The Constitution is to be republished in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Moldova. It is the first time that the Constitution is amended by the people. The 11 amendments to the Constitution so far were made only by Parliament.
