Sept. 29 Moldova’s pro-Europe party of President Maia Sandu has claimed victory in Parliamentary elections that are being framed as a repudiation of Russia and its alleged actions to undermine the small nation’s democracy.
The Sunday contest is also being seen as a win for Moldova’s bid to join the European Union, which it has sought since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, fearing it could be the Kremlin’s next target.
« A landslide victory for #Moldova’s European path », Moldova’s Minister of Foreign Affairs said in an English-language statement on X. « The ruling Action and Solidarity Party (PAS) retains the absolute majority in Parliament. This is the merit of Moldovans at home & abroad who defied expectations.
« Kremlin lost. Democracy won », he added.
