Hi all,
Today it’s the 2nd round of presidential elections in Moldova. The candidates are:
- Maia Sandu - the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS), pro-EU
- Alexandr Stoianoglu - Socialists (PSRM), less pro-EU, rather pro-Russia, supported more or less by the Kremlin.
Get your Moldovan friends to the ballots if you have any. I’ll try to keep you posted about any updates as much as I can (I’ll be on a hike so I likely won’t have that much cell service).
Here’s the Election Commission’s official website where you can see the presence in real time (as well as the results after the polls close): pv.cec.md/
Right now it’s around 10:00 AM here in Romania, I guess it’s the same in MD
Edit: if you know any Romanian/trust Google Translate enough, here’s a live feed: hotnews.ro/live-alegeri-in-rep…
@0x815 it fortunately is. I’m happy that Moscow lost another foot in Europe.
I assume you agree that they will continue to interfere, but, yes, for now there is reason to celebrate a bit :-)
@0x815 as long as it has troops in Transnistria they will surely continue to interfere and do it rather efficiently (not to mention about Găgăuzia), but yes, for now it seems the tide has changed in favor of Moldova - at least for the time being.
Also, what I did not mention was that Maia Sandu won in the county of the runaway Ilan Shor. How the turns have tabled. 😁
