Amid Russian aggression, Moldova faces unprecedented election interference, including vote-buying efforts orchestrated by a fugitive oligarch, bomb threats, and cyberattacks, yet Maia Sandu emerged victorious.
As noted by independent journalists, the scale of voter manipulation was alarming, with allegations of organized transportation of voters and disinformation flooding social media platforms, especially TikTok.
The police’s proactive measures against vote-buying and publicizing arrests aided the electorate’s understanding of the election process's integrity, countering the narrative that voting could be bought.
Despite overwhelming challenges and attempts to undermine democratic processes, the resilience of the Moldovan people and their participation led to a pro-European victory in the recent elections.
