Past Event
Speakers:
Moldova recently held presidential elections and a national referendum on the country’s possible European Union membership. In both cases, Moldovans voted for the Euro-Atlantic cause. Still, the country faces a number of challenges, including Russian hybrid warfare and political meddling. Additionally, Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine threatens Moldova’s security.
Next year the country will hold important parliamentary elections, which Russia will doubtlessly try to undermine using disinformation. To discuss recent developments in Moldova and the region, Hudson is honored to welcome President of the Parliament of Moldova Igor Grosu and Moldovan Foreign Minister Mihai Popșoi.
