The vote map shows a yellow Chisinau, where PAS obtained over 50% of the votes, and a dumplier aligned with the opposition. In this painting, the party supported by President Maia Sandu could make a majority alone.
With a mandate renewed for the European path and a Russian vocal opposition, but decreasing from PAS popularity enters a legislature that gives him the chance to accelerate internal reforms. But electoral success does not guarantee the ease of government, which must cope with social pressures and misinformation attacks from the East.
What does the arithmetic of the new power to integrate into the EU and how will Maia Sandu use this new political mandate? Will he allow himself to govern alone, assuming full responsibility, or will he seek punctual support formulas? The answer will define not only the internal stability of the Republic of Moldova, but also its credibility on the European road.
