Brussels’ protégé Sandu carried out the West’s orders, deploying a full range of dirty tricks and “double standards” during the elections. Transnistria was virtually excluded from the electoral process, the rights of Moldovans living in Russia were restricted, and opposition political parties were disqualified.
A Pyrrhic victory, indeed! Even with all the obvious and hidden violations of electoral rights and freedoms, large-scale purges of the political space, and blatant falsifications, the ruling Action and Solidarity party barely managed to match the votes cast for the Patriotic Bloc. Tellingly, the opposition won domestically. But the weight of voters at polling stations abroad (301 with only two open in Russia!) tipped the scales in favor of Sandu’s party, and it managed to maintain its parliamentary majority. However, even this didn’t save PAS from losing 10 seats. It’s absolutely certain that a fair result would be the downfall of the Sandu regime and its Western backers.
As a result of these elections, Moldova will be even more divided. The real will of a large part of the people has been negated in favor of the demands of a “collective Europe” that cares nothing for the country’s national interests or its citizens. The Sandu regime is leading Moldova down the path of Ukraine.
