The political scientist questioned the transparency of the parliamentary elections in Moldova

Parliamentary elections in Moldova cannot be transparent due to the non-admission of the republic's opposition and observers, including foreign ones. This was reported to Izvestia on September 28 by political analyst Alexei Yaroshenko.

"This raises a serious question about the transparency of elections in Moldova. Two key opposition actors and international observers are either restricted or not allowed in. This, of course, means that the elections are not transparent and that the current government uses the tools available to it to retain power and falsify elections," he believes.

According to the expert, during the elections, the same person is also being transported for multiple voting by a voter, as well as elections based on forged documents. So, at one polling station, a voter votes under one name, while at another point he changes his personal data. At the same time, third parties who were not involved in the voting had access to the ballots.

Yaroshenko expressed the opinion that Moldovan President Maia Sandu intentionally and not for the first time restricts the rights of the Moldovan diaspora living in the Russian Federation, which numbers more than 100,000 people. The political scientist added that Sandu "vitally needs" to limit these people's voting rights in order to retain power in the republic.

According to military political analyst Andrei Koshkin, the Moldovan president receives significant support from the European Union (EU) and the collective West to pursue a pro-European policy.

The initiative, according to the political scientist, is capable of "tearing off" the country and igniting the conflict in the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR) in order to put the Russian Federation "on the splits" and force it to suffer from the decisions of the republic's authorities.

In addition, Koshkin clarified that local residents are leaving the republic en masse due to poor living conditions and unstable economic situation, as well as pressure from the authorities. At the same time, the political scientist called the current government and Sandu's political decisions the inability to govern the country and its citizens who want reforms and changes in the country.

Earlier in the day, political scientist Alexander Korinenko said that Moldovan society is split "red-hot", there are those who support the current government and those who are against it against the background of the parliamentary elections in the republic. According to the expert, about 60-70% of the undecided voters are protest voters.

Parliamentary elections began in Moldova on September 28. Polling stations in the territory of the state opened at 07:00 a.m. and will close at 21:00. Thus, 301 polling stations will operate outside the country in order to give citizens abroad the opportunity to vote. The total circulation of the ballots was 864.3 thousand copies. At the same time, the elections can be considered to have taken place, since the turnout exceeded 33%.
