The European Union pro -Moldova Party wins the elections after the campaign with the alleged Russian intervention

The ruling ruling party won Europe in Moldova by defeating its rival, Russian, in a major parliamentary elections, and the results showed on Monday a big boost to try to join the European Union and separate from the orbit of Moscow.

On Sunday, the strong strong performance by the Labor and Solidarity Party of President Mia Sando (PAS) against the national electoral bloc was a relief to the government and its European partners, who accused Moscow of seeking to influence the vote.

With almost all votes calculated, PAS won 50.2 percent, compared to 24.2 percent of the national bloc, which sought to direct Moldova – a small, precedent Soviet republic installed between Ukraine and a member of the European Union Romania – closer to Russia.

Some of the opinion polls that preceded the elections are placed PAS, the pole and the national trick, with no majority. The nearby number of the final by Moldova’s electoral committee allows the government to pay for its goal of membership in the European Union by 2030.

“Residents of Moldova and their messages are noisy and clear,” said Antonio Costa, head of the European Council, which represents the member states of the European Union 27.

“They chose democracy, reform and the European future, in the face of pressure and overlap from Russia,” he added.

Russia denies intervention

In a joint statement, the leaders of France, Germany and Poland Moldova congratulated “the peaceful behavior of the elections, despite unprecedented intervention by Russia, including the purchase and misleading plans.”

Ukrainian President Foludmir Zelinski also praised the electoral results on Sunday, saying that Moscow had failed to “destabilize” Moldova.

Moldova, with a population of 2.4 million people, made a long pollution between Russia and Europe.

The National Bloc and other opposition groups have sought to benefit from the anger of the voters from economic and slow reforms – grievances were exacerbated because of what officials say it was widespread misleading information.

Inflation is still stubbornly high at about seven percent, while the Moldov also bear higher costs of imported energy.

It will be very difficult to fulfill difficult membership standards in the European Union, one of the poorest European countries.

Russia denied interfering in the election of Moldova.

On Monday, the Kremlin accused the authorities in Moldova of preventing hundreds of thousands of Moldov who live in Russia from voting in the elections.

“Hundreds of thousands of Moldov have been deprived of the opportunity to vote in the Russian Federation because of the fact that only two polling stations were open to them,” said Dmitry Peskov spokeswoman.

When asked if Moscow had realized the results, Peskov noted that some political forces in Moldova had talked about violations.

“First, the Moldov themselves will produce this. As we know, some political forces declare otherwise. They talk about the potential elections violations,” he said.

Russian government officials say about 500,000 Moldovan citizens live in Russia.

More than 4000 votes were made in Russia, according to the Moldovan authorities, about two -thirds of which were the main blocks loyal to Russia. On the contrary, the citizens of Moldovan who live in Germany with more than 38,000 votes in 36 different surveys, most of them to support the ruling party.

“Violations of electoral rights and freedoms, wide -scale cleansing of political space, and flagrant increase,” Leonid Slutsky, Chairman of the International Affairs Committee in the Russian Parliament, said in a telegram.

“The Sando system leads Moldova to the path of Ukraine.”

The opposition person calls for protest

Moldovan’s voter for the first time, Anna Maria Oru, 18, said that she had noticed that many young people, like her, had turned into their vote.

“I think we have a bright future in front of us,” she said at the Chessinana Capital Center on Monday.

PAS leaders described the Sunday elections as the most dependent since Moldova’s independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.

The Sando government said Russia has tried to influence voting through widespread misleading information and votes.

Stanislav Seriro, National Security Adviser in Sando, said that the infrastructure of the elections and government sites was attacked, and that the threats of fake bombs were called to the polling stations in Moldova and abroad.

In contrast, Russia accused the pro -European Union camp in Moldova of trying to manipulate the outcome of the elections.

On Sunday, Igor Dodon, a co -chair of the National Bloc, called for protests the next day in front of Parliament, claiming that Sandu was planning to cancel the vote. No evidence.

The authorities, who have also warned of attempts to support Russian to raise the turmoil after voting, will be seen closely to see if Dodon follows the threat, and what crowds can lead if he does so.
