Moldova has long lived in a rhythm of departures and returns. Almost every family has those who went to work, stayed abroad, or dream of returning home one day. Why do people leave the country, what makes them return, and is it even possible to measure the cost of such a choice? In the new episode of the special project “VOICES / VOCI”, NewsMaker listened to the stories of residents of Moldovan villages – about migration, home and hope, which is often stronger than circumstances.
NewsMaker launches a special project VOICES / VOCI – a series of reports from Moldovan villages, where we talk not with politicians and experts, but with ordinary people – those who rarely make it into the news, but without whom it is impossible to understand the country. The project’s heroes, with different experiences and views, talk about what is happening in Moldova, where we came from and where we are going – and often talk about what is being ignored. Each episode is dedicated to a separate topic that is commonly debated in Moldova, but rarely truly discussed: language and identity, the gap between city and village, European integration, church and faith, migration and return, Transnistria and reintegration, poverty, media and propaganda, justice and corruption.
