Moldova, who together with Ukraine last year received the green light to start accession talks with the EU, has the second-lowest GDP per capita in Europe.

“The Marshall Plan was designed to show to an exhausted continent that capitalism and democracy were a better way forward than anything offered by Communism. Today’s modern version will also need to offer similar hope to those of us working our way towards EU membership,” Sandu added.

Sandu’s call echoes similar calls for a ‘Marshall Plan’ for Ukraine made last year, both by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as well as by a number of EU member states.

We gave that constitution to ourselves. Yes, the allies had to okay it, but it was written by a democratically (if indirectly) elected body and then ratified by democratically elected state parliaments. Our constitution wasn't forced on us, which is something that I feel is important to point out considering the increasing Reichsbürger craziness.
