First-time voters opt for hope and prosperity
On Sunday, several young people cast their first votes. Enthusiastic and determined, they expressed a desire for a prosperous country, with well-paying jobs and a stable future.
Among the young people who exercised their right to vote for the first time is Adrian Tracenco, 18, from Ialoveni. He came with one thought: every vote counts, and young people can make a difference.
"I voted for a better future for the country, with a lot of potential. This is my first time voting. I believe that voting matters for every young person," says Adrian Tracenco.
Other young people also went to the polls for the first time today.
"I voted for the first time because I want my opinion to be heard and to contribute to the development of the country".
For many of the young people who went to the polls today, voting means more than just an electoral option - it is a step towards European integration.
"It's a very important vote that we all have to exercise today because we are choosing our future. The Russians have invaded us since Independence Day, and today is an important day for us. When you don't care about your country's politics, it's a tremendous loss".
"We are an integral country that must move towards the European Union. We are young, we are the ones who create the future, we are the ones who will have children in the future and we must have children who grow up with the thought that they have a country that takes care of them".
"Who, if not me, will be the first to motivate the internet to go vote for a better future? It's hard, but change starts with us, and we will eventually make a good change. "
"I was motivated primarily by this avalanche of manipulation from neighboring states, I was motivated by the fact that we are in a rather tense situation and we need to come out in as many numbers as possible to save our country's European path".
