Moscow plans a grand bribery of voters, the president said. Only through cryptocurrency it is planned to send about € 100 million. Campaigns are also organized for misinformation and manipulation of public opinion, paid protests, cyber attacks on the infrastructure related to the elections, as well as to other objects.
According to Sandu, the Church will be involved in the provocations, the so-called opinion leaders and online interfluseers who will replicate calls against the European course of the country. The Moldova authorities also expect involvement for provocations of organized crime, sabotage of voting in the diaspora, as well as hybrid impact on voters from Gagauzia and the Transnistrian region.
“Russian intervention poses a serious threat to public order and national security, and, most importantly, can undermine the sovereignty of our country and question our European future. State institutions know what needs to be done,” the President of Moldova added.
