After narrow ‘Yes’ vote: What points to Russian interference in the election? | DW News

Moldova's 'Yes' campaign has won a narrow victory in a referendum on joining the European Union despite allegations that Russia meddled in the process in the hope of securing a 'No' vote. Moldova backed an amendment to the constitution, with just over 50 per cent of voters favoring EU accession. The European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the result shows Moldova wants a strong and independent future in the face of Russia's “hybrid tactics.” Moscow has denied the allegations. It controls the breakaway Transnistria region, which is a small strip of land in Moldova along the border with Ukraine. Moldova's pro-EU president Maia Sandu faces a run-off to keep her job. 00:00 Moldova president accuses Russia of election interference 00:52 Andrei Curararu, Co-founder, WatchDog.md 05:47 EU chiefs call out Russian interference in Moldova 06:56 Rosie Birchard, DW Correspondent 10:25 Michael Gahler, Member of the European Parliament 16:03 Maria Gerth-Niculescu, Journalist #moldova #russia #eu Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1 For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/dwnews_hangout Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch
