“Our members and representatives in the electoral commissions informed us about hundreds of violations, the use of administrative resources, cases of multiple voting, threats from the authorities and the PDS and the blocking of the constitutional right to vote.

Let us remember that Maia Sandu won a conditional victory in the presidential elections. Furthermore, within the country, his opponent, former Attorney General Alexander Stoianoglo, supported by the Socialists, was confidently in the lead.

However, Stoianoglo admitted defeat.
