On Sunday the 20th of October, 2024, Moldovans voted to enshrine their desire for European Union membership into their country’s constitution. The aim: to prevent future governments from reversing the country’s accession process. The pro-EU side won with a razor thin majority, totalling just 50.4% of the vote. Praises and victory speeches were delivered in and to Moldova for days after. Yet, with the margin of victory being so small and balancing on just a few thousand votes, the outcome, and Moldova’s future, could have been very different.
