Moldovans awaits the outcome of the pivotal elections with the leader’s warning against Russian intervention

Moldovan voted in the parliamentary elections, which are decisive in their future path of the European Union, amid allegations of “massive Russian intervention” before voting.

The claims, which were made by the Moldova authorities for the first time, were repeated by the European Union’s supportive president, who told the correspondents outside the polling station in the capital, Chesinao, the future of its country, which is surrounded by Ukraine and Romania, at risk.

The partial results will appear in the coming hours, and the electoral committee said that its demand by the end of the vote at 21:00 (18:00 GMT) was just less than 52 %.

Two political powers are seen as almost on the neck and neck in the race: the Sando Labor and Solidarity Party (PAS) and the pro -Russian national electoral bloc.

Another important factor is more than 267,000 voters who have largely supported the diaspora. In a degree of tension surrounding the vote, bombs were reported at the polling stations in Italy, Romania, Spain and the United States.

Similar concerns were reported in Moldova itself.

Moldova also has a separate pocket in support of Russia called Transnistria along its borders with Ukraine, with a Russian military. Residents of this shrapnel have Moldovan’s passports and most of them are strongly supportive, but they must cross the Denster River to vote.

The Moldov has been exposed to Russia’s war on the neighboring Ukraine, but it is also wrestling with vortex and high levels of corruption.

President Sando, 53, won a second term last November and Moldovance warned that the future of their democracy was in their hands: “Do not play with your vote or you will lose everything!”

If the PAS party loses its majority in the 101 -seat parliament, it will have to search for support from two other parties expected to enter the parliament, alternative or populist bloc, our party.

One of the main competitors of Sando, the socialist leader Igor Dodon, went on national television as soon as the polls were closed to demand his pro -Russian allies in the national electoral bloc who won the elections, although there are no surveys to go out and before announcing any early results.

However, the PAS government called for the departure of power and for the party supporters to the streets on Monday “to defend their vote.

One of the parties was prevented from running two days ago due to alleged illegal financing.

In the previous vote, the police reported evidence of an unprecedented effort by Russia to spread misleading information and buy votes. Dozens of men were also arrested, and they were accused of traveling to Serbia to train firearms and coordinate disturbances. BBC’s investigation revealed a network He promised to pay the participants if they published propaganda supporting Russia and fake news.

The sympathetic parties with Moscow rejected the police demands that they are fake and offered – the government created it to intimidate people to support them. The Russian Embassy in the United Kingdom rejected the BBC allegations, accusing Moldova and “Western sponsors” of seeking to turn attention from “internal problems” in Cecino.

On the edge of the separatist Transnistria Jeep in Moldova on Sunday, a long waiting list of cars waited to cross the river to record its voting in 12 polling stations opened outside the administrative borders, some of which are more than 20 km (12 miles).

The number of voters has decreased in recent years, slightly over 12,000, an indication of the conflict that many have faced.

Moldovan police examined documents and cars before allowing them to pass. Most cars had many people inside, and they are often entire families.

By mid -afternoon, the waiting list extended to the distance beyond a booth with a hammer logo and a Soviet -style phase on top, and the green and red traditions.

Speaking to the drivers, most of them looked not interested in inconvenience, and the atmosphere was relatively comfortable.

One of the BBC men in the Russian language told that he was voting for change because the PAS government “promised heaven and had nothing.” No one will be more specific than that, as he insisted on his preference for a “secret” vote.
