The Romanian Parliament is considering a bill on unification with Moldova

The lower house of the Romanian parliament has submitted a bill that envisages the possible unification of the country with Moldova into a single sovereign state. The document was submitted by the far-right nationalist party S.O.S. România and is currently undergoing the so-called “silent approval” procedure.

This mechanism means that the bill can be considered approved by one of the chambers of parliament if no decision is made on it within a certain period. After that, the document will be submitted to the Senate for consideration, which will have the final say.

The text of the bill refers to the authorization of the Romanian government to start negotiations with the Moldovan authorities on a possible unification, as well as to inform international partners, in particular NATO, the United Nations, the European Union and the United States of America.

The official Romanian government has already expressed a negative position on this initiative. Bucharest stressed that the country’s priority remains supporting Moldova’s European integration, not a unilateral unification process.

The idea of ​​reunifying the two states has historical roots, but remains a politically sensitive topic. Moldovan President Maia Sandu has previously said she would support such an idea in a referendum, but has acknowledged that most Moldovans are not yet ready for such a step.
