Details: After taking the oath, Sandu also made a speech in which she noted that the society managed to preserve peace and protect its democracy, despite the crisis of recent years and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Sandu direct speech: “I can tell you with my hand on my heart: I worked with dedication during my first mandate, and I will continue with even greater will and energy. After 4 years, I can humbly say that together we have done something that has never been made during 30 years of independence”.
Details: She added that there is still a lot of work ahead, called for national mobilization and further development of the country.
“I urge you to move forward with confidence. Do not forget what our Moldova stands for – heritage, optimism, struggle, development, organization, will, ambition,” Sandu said.
Prehistory:
- Sandu was re-elected in early November for a second term with an advantage of more than 10 percentage points over her opponent, the candidate of the pro-Russian Socialists, Aleksandr Stoyanoglo.
- Sandu won mainly due to the strong support of the diaspora. The counting of votes inside Moldova confirmed that Stojanoglo would have won without taking into account foreign voters.
- Polls later showed that the majority of Moldovan citizens believed that the elections were flawed and were not free or fair.
