Moldova’s Pro-EU Party Wins Clear Majority, Defeats Pro-Russian Groups in Election
Moldova’s recent parliamentary election saw the pro-Western Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) secure a clear majority, decisively defeating pro-Russian groups. This victory is seen as a strong endorsement of Moldova’s path towards EU membership, a choice further solidified by the country’s application for EU membership in 2022. The election was held amidst claims of Russian interference, including cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, and attempts to incite unrest. With the PAS securing a majority, President Maia Sandu is expected to nominate Prime Minister Dorin Recean to form a new government, with the goal of furthering EU integration by 2028.
