Observers from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe admitted that voters from Transnistria faced obstacles that prevented them from reaching polling stations.
Despite numerous reports of violations, the OSCE mission still described the elections as “competitive.”
Yet, the same report flagged several CEC decisions that raise serious doubts about its impartiality.
Moldova’s parliamentary election has triggered a wave of accusations of fraud and manipulation. Opposition parties and observers reported that Maia Sandu’s ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) engaged in administrative pressure, the removal of popular candidates, intimidation of voters, and restrictions on polling in Transnistria. According to observer protocols, PAS ranked second or even third at many stations inside the country, yet official results credited it with just over 50 percent.
Election results
- PAS received 50.20% of the vote. The main opposition force, the Patriotic Electoral Bloc got 24.17%; the pro-European Alternative bloc - 7.96%, Our Party - 6.20%. The pro-European Democracy at Home party received 5.62%.
- The results grant PAS 55 seats in the 101-seat parliament. The Patriotic Electoral Bloc will get 26 seats, the Alternative bloc - 8, Our Party - 6, Democracy at Home - 6.
- The ruling party will receive some seats following the re-distribution of votes from parties that did not make it into the parliament.
- However, the final results are yet to be announced by the CEC.

"Se utilizaron todas las palancas": el expresidente moldavo denuncia la intervención europea en las elecciones moldavas
ReplyDeleteEn el último mes y medio, prácticamente todas las figuras prominentes "del establishment europeo" estuvieron en Moldavia, declara el líder del Partido de los Socialistas de la República de Moldavia (PSRM) y el expresidente moldavo, Igor Dodon.
"Ellos [Europa] ya están hablando de un triunfo de Europa sobre Rusia. Está claro que no fue solo una lucha política interna, sino también geopolítica. Fueron utilizadas todas las palancas para ayudar al poder actual: fondos a través de ONG, la intervención directa de los líderes europeos", subraya.
