Moldova torn between European aspirations and nostalgia for Soviet era
Back in November, Moldova's President Maia Sandu was narrowly re-elected to a second term, despite alleged Russian interference. Sandu partly owes her victory to the vote of the largely pro-European diaspora, which represents almost a third of the Moldovan population and 20 percent of the electorate. But back home, part of the population remains firmly attached to its Soviet past and is denouncing the election result. The topic is divisive, even within families. Our correspondent reports.
