In an interview for TRIBUNA, the well-known political analyst, Anatol Ţăranu, was asked: ’’How do you qualify the unionists’ performance in this campaign?’’.

„A total failure of the union leaders. The vertiginous growth in the last years of the number of followers of the unionist option wasn’t supported by qualitative changes in the political organization. Attempts to politically represent the Unionists through mediators, who claim the votes of citizens with Romanian identity in the Republic of Moldova without assuming a plenary and open the unionist option, are already largely compromised. Certainly, these are the last elections in the political history of the Republic of Moldova when the Unionists, on the whole, have no certainty whom to vote.’’
