Remus Ștefureac – director INSCOP Research: "The perception of public opinion in Romania reflects a consistent support for the pro-European direction of the Republic of Moldova, which suggests cultural and political closeness, but also the trust of Romanians in the democratic evolution of the Republic of Moldova. On the other hand, the positive opinion is strongly correlated with the orientation of the parties. Voters of USR (92%), PNL (85%) and PSD (71%) strongly support the election results, while AUR voters are divided. Given that the leadership of AUR has intensely criticized the governing party in the Republic of Moldova, which won the elections decisively, it becomes relevant that half of AUR voters have an opinion contrary to AUR leaders, having a good opinion about the election results across the Prut. There is no category of the population in which the unfavorable opinion about the election results is stronger than the good opinion. However, the public with primary education, from rural areas or small towns is slightly more skeptical, but even among these categories, the proportion of good opinions about the outcome of the elections is significantly higher than the proportion of bad opinions.
