After more than 98 percent of ballots were counted, the dog won 49.6 percent of the vote. According to the Center’s Central Election Commission, the Pro-Patriotic Block of the former President Igor Dodon won 24.5 percent.
Dodon is the leader of the Moldovan Party of Socialists (PSRM) and the leader of the Patriot block election federation. The Alliance logo shows the white-red star in which the heart is, and inside it is “embedded” and the Soviet symbol of the sickle and hammers. Dodon describes himself as a right-handed, dedicated to “traditional values,” and likes to finish his videos to the Orthodox greeting “Help God!”
Parliamentary elections in a poor, agricultural state located between EU members of Romania and Ukraine are considered crucial. Moldova, country with about 2.4 million inhabitants, is a candidate for the EU since 2022.
Russia charged with purchase of votes, misinformation and cybernetic attacks
The prosecution president of the Sand hopes that most of the proeuropean forces will continue the reforms needed to join the EU. Compared to the elections four years ago, the dog suffered certain losses.
She accused Russia for mass interference in the election campaign before. The Moldovan authorities spoke about the purchase of votes by Russia, misinformation on social networks and cyber attacks.
Russia’s favored power of the block of alternatives (8.1 percent) and our entrepreneurs of Renata (6.2 percent) have also provided places in parliament of 101 members, elected on a four-year term.
Unexpectedly, the party “Democracy at home” (PPDA), originally established to promote unification with Romania, also crossed a five percent threshold, winning 5.7 percent of the vote.
The diaspora votes are still expected
The outcome of the selection largely depends on the participation of the diaspora. Hundreds of thousands of Moldovans live in the EU and traditionally have a significant impact on who will rule in their homeland. Moscow also accused the authorities in the capital of Chisinau for manipulation, claiming that the Procusian parties and forces were omitted from the elections.
On the day of the election, there were complaints that citizens from the Separatist region of the adhesion could not come to Moldova to vote due to the closure of the bridge after the alleged threat of the bomb. Traditionally, people from the conclusion with Moldovan passports also have an impact on the outcome of the election.
Moldova is torn between the proeuropean course and its historical ties with Russia. Preliminary finite results are expected on Monday.
Humiliation for Russia
With the measures of the economy, the Kremlin may not need a small, dominant agrarian Republic of Moldova from its 2.4 million inhabitants. However, the Russian imperial mentality has led to the first post-summer war – that happened in the spring of 1992. About 1,500 Russian soldiers and the large Arsenal weapons are currently stationed in the nearby scars, and today is still a separatist region.
From 2022. The strategic value of the Moldova has increased because, by conquering the small country that is practically unable to defend, Moscow could run a war on two fronts against Ukraine. The humiliation that has suffered there should not be underestimated when it comes to Russia’s attitude towards the small Moldova – for example, when one woman, undisputed and modest Maia Sand, managed to release his country of Russian hugs and take her on the road to Europe.
In this context, it does not surprise that Russia seemed everything she could to “reverse” the choices in his favor. One of the tools she used was the purchase of votes by paying money through one app. As many as 300,000 voters have already registered for it last year. At that time, the government spoke about the “unseen hybrid attack” in the Republic of Moldova.
Purchase of votes
The purchase of votes coordinated the network led by Moldovan-Israeli entrepreneur Ilan Shor, whose principals are allegedly found in Russian intelligence agencies and, allegedly, in Kremlin. The charm is the main organizer of the so-called “Milielard theft” from 2012. until 2014, and therefore convicted in the Republic of Moldova. He escaped in 2019. First to Israel, and later in Russia. Several parties found for the upcoming elections – it is forbidden.
For months, police in Moldova warns citizens on the possible consequences of purchase of votes. Obviously, it was not completely successful.
Flood of false news
The second method was overlanding social networks, especially the tictok, thousands of videos that spread fake news. In addition to the typical Pro-oriented narratives, many videos currently claim that “regime” is the Sear Corruption Peace and that the ruling dog pushes hundreds of thousands of people in poverty.
But the sand and dog – which she founded – for the first time since the acquisition of the independence, Moldova decisively guided the fight against corruption. The Russian war against Ukraine pushed Moldova into a difficult economic crisis, primarily due to drastic increase in energy prices and suspensions of Russian gas delivery from the beginning of 2025. Years.
Former President Igor Dodon, who is also suspected of corruption in several cases, is not too impressed with these facts. As for the yellow parties of the dog, his main election slogan read: “The yellow plague must disappear!”
