Moldovan public opinion and human rights perceptions

Overview

Public sentiment in Moldova reflects growing anxieties regarding regional stability and institutional integrity. In late September 2026, data indicated that fear of war in the region reached a record high of 43.8%, while rising prices became the primary concern for nearly half of the population. Despite an increasing reliance on digital news and social media, particularly among youth, public trust in these platforms remains low, with many reporting frequent encounters with false information.

By October 2026, studies focused on human rights perceptions showed that while many citizens believe respect for rights, such as the right to health, has improved over the last decade, 70% still believe human rights are frequently violated. A significant 90% of respondents identified corruption and inadequate access to justice as the main drivers of these violations.
