Ex-Soviet state rejects EU integration in referendum | |
(33 minutes later) | |
More than 50% of Moldovan voters have said ‘no’ to the inclusion of an aspiration for closer ties with the EU in the constitution | |
Voters in Moldova have rejected the government-backed proposal to enshrine eventual integration with the EU in the former Soviet country’s constitution. | |
During Sunday’s referendum, held simultaneously with a presidential election, voters were asked whether the constitution should be amended to reflect the “irreversible European course” of the country and affirm the “integration into the European Union as a strategic objective” of the nation. | |
With more than 86% of the ballots counted, 54.55% voted against the proposal, while 45.45% voted in favor, according to the preliminary results cited by the news channel TVR. | |
