Parliamentary elections in the Republic of Moldova: candidates, controversies around them and the great unknown of the poll on September 28
We play the full text of the communiqué transmitted by American Congressants:
“On Sunday, on September 28, Moldova will organize parliamentary elections. The presidents of the groups for Moldova, Romania and the Baltic countries in the Chamber of Representatives of the United States are united in the hope that these elections will be free, correct and without foreign influence.
Moldova has declared its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 and since then it is a brilliant example of democracy in the eastern flank of NATO. Ensuring the free development of these elections, the transparent counting of the votes and the peaceful acceptance of the results by all the actors will be crucial for the democratic future of the Republic of Moldova.
We, in the United States, know too well that foreign opponents will make efforts to undermine, influence and disrupt free and correct choices. Already the Moldovan authorities have arrested over 70 people as part of an investigation in a presumptive plan supported by Russia to incite revolts and destabilization at national level in relation to these essential elections.
Democracy is difficult, but respecting the will of the people is an important pillar for a stronger, more peaceful and prosperous world. We welcome every effort in Eastern Europe and throughout the world to face democracy challenges and we wish everyone to apply. “
