Abstract:

The European Union’s confidence in Moldova’s governing Democratic Party was undermined by its undemocratic practices. Vladimir Plahotniuc, the oligarch at the head of the party, is trying to regain EU financial support by amending Moldova’s constitution to take into account European integration. In the face of EU tenacity, he is also looking for rapprochement with its competitors, Russia and Turkey. This may be an attempt to strike a balance between them and the EU. The lowering of democratic standards in Moldova is a challenge for Poland and other promoters of the Eastern Partnership.
