If a referendum would be held on the Unification of the Republic of Moldova with Romania, Maia Sandu would vote for it. However, according to the president of the Action and Solidarity Party, this is only the position of the citizen Maia Sandu and not of the party. The Party position is that we promise to do what is real to do today. Regarding the scandal after the statement of the US Ambassador, James D. Pettit, on that point, according to the PAS leader, maybe only "the part with history was a little not too properly expressed", writes realitatea.md.

"I think Mr. Ambassador knows that a good part of the population is sharing this aspiration and I think he did not want to offense anyone. Maybe the part with history was a little not too properly expressed, as for the rest I believe that he wanted to say that the Republic of Moldova has interior problems, referring to Transnistria, regarding the presence of the minorities and these things and the lack of dialogue is not easy to solve. I was not surprised by this statement of his because in the community of the donors or in the community of the Ambassadors I have heard many times such declarations", said Maia Sandu in the TV show "Pahomi" at Realitatea TV.

The PAS leader holds that whilst personally would vote for the union, the formation she represents "promises what it can do". "The Union may happen when the majority of the citizens of this country will support this desire. At the moment, there is no majority, that is why we are realists and say what we can do", said Maia Sandu, mentioning meanwhile that "there is place for a serious debate on the union problem".

Asked to answer if she has or does not have trust in her political partner-Andrei Nastase, the Pas leader backed out, mentioning that "the trust is built" and "must be referred to certain actions". Nevertheless, the former Minister of Education admits that one of them might withdraw from the electoral race in favor of the over. 

"The trust is built, it does not fall from the top. This exercise we are in is a chance to build this confidence and if we both respect our commitment, then this trust will be built. We need certain proofs to be able to build this trust", tried Maia Sandu to answer the question.

Previously, during an interview offered to the public TV station, Moldova 1, the US Ambassador to Chisinau, James D. Pettit stated that "Moldova is not Romania, Moldova has its own history and its own challenges". This has sparked a wave of criticism from the union supporters, some of whom have even started an online petition that called for the expulsion of the US diplomat from our country.
