OVER TWO-THIRDS OF MOLDOVANS BELIEVE THE COUNTRY MOVES IN WRONG DIRECTION \u2013 OPINION POLL<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An impressive majority of Moldova citizens, namely 69.1% of them, believe that the country is marching in a wrong direction, and only 22.4% presume differently, as per the findings of the opinion poll presented by the Association of Sociologists and Demographers on Monday.<\/p>\n

According to the pollsters, an analogous opinion was expressed also by interviewed Moldovan experts, of whom 68.5% believe Moldova is moving in a wrong direction and 24.1% — in a correct direction.<\/p>\n

Among the things that are worrying Moldova citizens the most are poverty \u2013 32.8% respondents, the constant growth of prices on foodstuffs and utilities \u2013 23.2%, corruption and crime \u2013 18.1%, unemployment \u2013 12.5%, political instability \u2013 10.7%, an adverse demographic situation and mass-scale migration \u2013 9.1%, children\u2019s future \u2013 8.7%.<\/p>\n

According to Association Chairman Victor Mocanu, for the first time over a fairly long period of time, political instability has found itself among the top 5 concerns worrying the citizens of Moldova. In previous years, this problem used to remain not higher than the 9th opposition in terms of importance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis concern is being caused by endless debates between political forces. Citizens are worrying that due to the lack of a consensus, the country will have to hold a snap election and thus to spend extra tens of millions lei from the State Budget, which is fraught with a cancellation of pension and salary increases. Also, situation is totally unclear with the ordinary local elections

[the previous elections were held in June 2015]\u201d, said the expert.<\/p>\n

The research has shown that over a quarter of the Moldova population (25.4%) have no money enough even for the most necessary things. Another 41% citizens can afford only the most necessary purchases, 22.2% said their incomes are sufficient for \u201ca worthy living\u201d, but without expensive things. 5.3% stated they actually have means enough for buying luxury things, but only occasionally and at the expense of reducing expenditures in other spheres of life. And only 1.9% stated they are well-off enough to afford anything.<\/p>\n

Mocanu believes that the above results are indicative of the absence of a middle class in Moldova, without which a stable society is impossible.
