The EU and the “changing” Eastern neighborhood - between “post-factum diplomacy” and realpolitik, Analysis by Dionis CenușăOp-EdThe diversity of realities in Eastern Europe requires from the EU a "differentiated diplomacy" which emerges from the dynamics of local and external factors, dominant in the region ...Dionis Cenuşa, Senior ContributorThe European strategy for the Eastern Neighborhood is losing ground to the ever-changing reality. It is these shortcomings that define European diplomacy of post-factum, which remains relevant in 2020. First of all, Russia has structural levers that can influence the situation on the ground in the Eastern Partnership states. Instead, the emphasis of Westerners is on calming the political situation, without encouraging the opposition to annul the results of the parliamentary elections.

Indirectly, this could help Maia Sandu, communication expert Vlad Țurcanu stated in IPN’s public debate “Strong and weak points of the two finalists”. Vlad Țurcanu said that even if Igor Dodon has experience to resist such attacks, it is not easy for him to do this. Society in Moldova, which is dependent on foreign assistance, including mentally, realizes that Maia Sandu is the political figure who can attract funds to Moldova. Vlad Țurcanu noted Moldovan society believes that the voters of the right, the pro-European ones are more active between elections and are sometimes absent from elections. Without this support, Igor Dodon seems vulnerable,” concluded Vlad Țurcanu.

Ion Duminica: It’s not clear how President – Parliament relationship will develop after electionsIt’s not clear how the President – Parliament relationship will develop after the presidential runoff as none of the two candidates presented a team with which they would work if they are elected President. One should know how to discuss with them, how to promote the message in these communities, but the candidates’ message is geo-political, pro-East or pro-West, against corruption, for “good people,” he stated. Before the runoff, they should have attracted other voters, other sympathizers by political debates where they could have exhibited their charisma, capacities, authority. As to the risk of election rigging in the runoff, Ion Duminica said they have always invoked the risk of fraud in the elections held in Moldova. Ion Duminica called on the media outlets to formulate a common message to the candidates so as to make them understand that the voters in Moldova can be attracted by debates.

To win a victory, Maia Sandu needs votes of Usatyi’s sympathizers, commentatorIf the voter turnout in the presidential runoff exceeds 50%, the chances of winning of the PAS’ candidate Maia Sandu will be rather big. In 2016, Renato Usatyi announced his support for Igor Dodon and his sympathizers then voted for Igor Dodon. The current campaign was yet anti-Dodon and the voters of Usatyi could migrate to Maia Sandu in opposition to Igor Dodon, not necessarily in support of Maia Sandu. Respectively, it was normal for them to state their support for Maia Sandu for the runoff. In the November 1 presidential elections, Maia Sandu won 36.16% of the vote, while Igor Dodon – 32.61%.
