Some 54% of the respondents of a poll conducted by Date Inteligente SRL (iData) are for Moldova’s accession to the European Union, while 37% are against. Also, 9% of those polled didn’t provide a response to this question.
In a news conference hosted by IPN, Mihai Bologan, iData executive director, said that the number of those who are firmly convinced that Moldova should join the EU decreased slightly over the past one year and a half and this can be due to the war in Ukraine or not, but the conditions in Moldova continue to be favorable for holding a referendum that would definitely bring victory to those who support Moldova’s accession to the EU.
Some 43.6% of those surveyed are for Moldova’s accession to the Eurasian Economic Union, while 42.7% are against. Also, only one third of the respondents are in favor of Moldova’s withdrawal from the Commonwealth of Independent States, 52.6% are against, while 12.5% do not have a clear opinion.
Some 43.6% of those questioned said that the Great European Assembly was the main event of May 2023. This percentage is the highest obtained to this open question so far. This shows that this event was indeed a high-profile one.
Also, 68% of those surveyed are against renaming the May 9 holiday and only 16% are for renaming this holiday as Day of Commemoration and Reconciliation for World War II Victims, while 9% prefer the Europe Day name for this holiday.
