Moldova's Pro-European Party Wins Elections Amid Cyberattacks and Russian Interference Allegations
Moldova's parliamentary elections concluded with cyberattacks and allegations of Russian interference. The pro-European Action and Solidarity Party (PAS) secured about 50% of the vote, strengthening President Maia Sandu's EU integration efforts.
Election day saw multiple cyberattacks targeting Moldova's electoral infrastructure. While no specific Russian spokesperson commented on the election results, allegations of Russian attempts to destabilize the vote surfaced. Hoax bomb threats further intimidated voters at polling stations and diaspora voting centers.
Igor Dodon, leader of the Patriotic Bloc, rejected the results and called for a peaceful protest. His party, which supports closer ties with Russia, received less than 25% of the vote. Previously, Moldovan authorities blamed Moscow for disinformation campaigns aimed at undermining election confidence. Despite these challenges, the election outcome solidifies President Sandu's pro-European stance and her push for EU integration.
