💨 Abstract

The pro-Romanian branch of Moldova's Orthodox Church accused priests from the Moscow-linked church of campaigning against a referendum on joining the European Union. The minority Metropolis of Bessarabia claims rival priests are lobbying against President Maia Sandu's pro-EU policy, potentially influencing the October 20 referendum and presidential election where Sandu seeks a second term.
