According to him, Sandu's statement in support of unification in the referendum was a reaction to the delay in negotiations on Moldova's accession to the EU.
“Until the end of last year, their voters were promised to start negotiations with the EU, but in December, Brussels actually said: “We are not ready to start negotiations with Sandu,” Dodon emphasized.
According to him, after being rejected by the European Union, Sandu is trying to blackmail Brussels, hinting at the possibility of unification with Romania if the EU does not give Moldova clear integration prospects.
