The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Maria Zaharova, during a press conference organized in the margin of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, in New York, US
Moscow denied the accusations that he tried to get involved in the parliamentary elections in the Republic of Moldova held the previous day, after the pro -European party led by President Maia Sandu and in power obtained a decisive majority, writes France Presse.
“The authorities of the country have accused (in a way) Russia, and not the European Union, mixing in the political processes of Moldova, losing insinuations about an non-existent” Russian threat “,” said the spokesman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in a statement.
Zelenski's message
In contrast, Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski said on Monday that Russia “failed in the destabilization of Moldova”, one day after the victory of the pro -European camp in the parliamentary elections in the neighboring country.
“Russia has failed to destabilize Moldova, even after spending huge resources,” said the Kiev leader in a video speech, at the Warsaw Security Forum.
“The subversive influence of Russia will not expand further into Europe,” Zelenski added.
“These elections have shown that Russia's destabilizing activity loses, while Moldova in Europe wins. Russian subversion, constant misinformation-none of them worked,” Zelenski wrote, in a message published on the Socializing Platform X and quoted by Agerpres.
The pro-European party in power in Chisinau (PAS) has been comfortably detached in front of its Prous rival in a crucial parliamentary election, a relief for the government, in the context in which he is trying to remain outside the sphere of influence of Moscow, Reuters commented on Monday on the legislative elections on Sunday.
The Action and Solidarity Party, the formation of President Maia Sandu, won the parliamentary elections in the Republic of Moldova, obtaining more than half of the votes expressed.
According to the results announced Monday by the Central Election Commission (CEC), PAS obtained 50.20% of the total valid votes expressed.
The patriotic electoral block of the Socialists, the Communists, the heart and the future of Moldova (“Patriotic Block”), whose leader is the former socialist president Igor Dodon, ranked second, at a great distance from step, with 24.17%.
In the third position was the “alternative” electoral block of the mayor of Chisinau, Ion Ceban, who obtained 7.96% of the votes.
Renato Usatâi, the former mayor of Balti, entered the Parliament with the formation of “Our Party” – 6.2%. The last party that exceeded the electoral threshold is the Political Party “Home Democracy” (PPDA), led by Vasile Costiuc (5.62%).
