Elections in Moldova - the latest news
We will remind that the first round of presidential elections in Moldova took place on October 20. According to the voting results, Maya Sandu was in the lead with 41,86% of the votes. At the same time, she said that the elections were faced with "unprecedented" interference from outside.
According to the country's president, there is "clear evidence" that criminal groups working together with foreign forces hostile to Moldova's interests tried to buy 300 votes.
"Their goal was to undermine the democratic process. Their intention was to sow fear and panic in society... We are waiting for the final results, and we will respond with firm decisions," Sandu emphasized.
At the same time, the opponent of the president of Moldova, Alexander Stoianoglo, said that he plans to build "constructive relations" with the Ukrainian authorities if he wins the elections.
"We support Ukraine in the war, provide humanitarian aid, and I am sure that our relations will only strengthen during my presidency. Now there are only militaristic statements," he noted.
