Moldova bars pro-Russian party from tense parliamentary election
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history,"
"Moldova's electoral commission on Friday barred a pro-Russian party from participating in this weekend's tense parliamentary election, which is beleaguered by widespread claims of Russian interference. The outcome of Sunday's high-stakes vote could determine whether Moldova, a Soviet republic until 1991 and a candidate for European Union membership since 2022, can continue on a path toward the EU or will be brought back under Russia's orbit."
The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, deploying journalists to report on developing stories and investigations. The Independent investigates entities such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent remains free of paywalls and relies on donations to fund reporting, aiming to make quality journalism available to everyone paid by those who can afford it. Moldova's Central Electoral Commission barred the Heart of Moldova, part of the Russia-friendly BEP bloc, after a court restricted the party for 12 months following searches and allegations of voter bribery, illegal financing and money laundering. The election could determine Moldova's alignment toward the EU or closer ties with Russia.
