Moldova’s Presidential Elections and EU Referendum: A Critical Moment

On October 20, Moldovans will vote in both presidential elections and a constitutional referendum on EU integration. These elections are critical as they will set the stage for the 2025 parliamentary elections and indicate the level of support for President Maia Sandu and her liberal, pro-EU Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS). The outcome will also reflect public opinion on Moldova’s EU integration efforts, which have been central to Sandu's agenda. Despite achievements in governance, the PAS government faces criticism for falling short of building social cohesion and delivering all promised reforms. The EU can support Moldova by focusing on economic development and stability, job creation, enhancing administrative capacity, and supporting Moldova’s resilience against Russian hybrid threats.

The Iran Nuclear Crisis:

Is an Acceptable Deal Possible?

Since the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, the relationship between the United States and Iran consists mostly of mutual accusations. The US accuses Iran of pursuing a nuclear weapons program, and Iran accuses the US of trying to intervene in its internal affairs and acting out of imperialist motives. The question is: Is there a way out of this crisis? Dr. Steven Miller took on this question at a discussion group at the DGAP on transatlantic relations.
