Parliamentary elections in the Republic of Moldova – a decisive election, not only for Chişinău

The election on 28 September is crucial for the European Union, too.

Alongside President Maia Sandu, the government and the parliamentary majority of the PAS (Party of Action and Solidarity) have been regarded as reliable and surprisingly resilient partners for the European Union in the Black Sea region over the past three years. The party founded by Maia Sandu has been governing without coalition partners since 2021. However, a repeat of its previous election success with just under 53 per cent of the vote is currently considered unlikely. The presidential election in autumn 2024 also showed that Russia's illegitimate influence – whether through vote buying or massive disinformation campaigns – can potentially be decisive in elections. For this reason, the support from Brussels and many European capitals for the PAS in the election campaign is unprecedented. This is because a democratic and pro-European Republic of Moldova is now considered by the EU to be an important building block for its own security interests in Eastern Europe.
