This episode of the podcast gives a rundown of the current changes taking place in Moldova. After a political agreement between the Socialists and the pro-West ACUM broke an electoral status quo, the country has seemed to gain new momentum. However, are the new authorities going to be able to meet the high expectations the society and international partners have for them? To help answer this question, Maciek and Adam interview Gina Lentine, an expert from Freedom House who is a close observe of the region and of Moldova in particular.
