Moldova is set to hold crucial elections this Sunday, which will significantly influence the nation’s trajectory towards European Union membership and its relationship with Russia. This election is pivotal as it will assess whether Moldova can maintain its European aspirations or if it will revert to closer ties with Russia.
The Party of Action and Solidarity, led by President Maia Sandu, aims to secure a parliamentary majority. The party’s focus is on continuing essential reforms that align with EU standards, with an ambitious goal of achieving EU membership by the end of the decade.
