FRANCE 24 spoke to Natalia Gavrilita, who was prime minister of Moldova from August 2021 until February 2023. She reacted to the recent protests calling for the resignation of President Maia Sandu, saying that a US State Department document “clearly indicates evidence of Russian meddling in Moldova’s democratic process”. She also stressed that Moldova is “not looking to join the EU for the name only”, but rather that “we are ready to do the hard work [and] transform the country, because this is actually better for the Moldovan people”.
