Divided between EU and Russia, molds vote for tense elections
Most research showed that PAS in power since 2021 led the vote.
The participation was 51.9% in the closing of the polls, at 18h GMT (15h in Brasilia), according to the Electoral Commission, slightly less than the rate registered in 2021 (52.3%).
PAS’s pro-European president Maia Sandu has qualified the process as the “most significant elections” of Moldova.
“The result will decide whether we consolidate our democracy and come to the European Union, or if Russia drags us back to a gray zone, making us a regional risk,” she added to social network X.
The European Union said this week that Moldova faces “an unprecedented misinformation campaign” by Russia, while Prime Minister Dorin Aiman warned of a “siege (A) country.”
Moscow denied Chisinau’s accusations that he is conducting an Internet disinformation campaign and sought to buy votes and cause disorders.
