Elections

In Moldova’s ongoing parliamentary elections, political leaders have already cast their votes, making statements reflecting deep political divisions, hopes for change and calls for civic engagement, Logos Press reports.

We live in an era of very flexible standards. In 2020, breaking microphones and breaking dishes in parliament, which became a kind of starting point for early parliamentary elections in 2021, was considered a noble form of expressing the will of the people. But in the next convocation, blocking the rostrum or attempting to speak out was already treated as a gross violation of the rules of procedure.

Over the past two days, the Central Electoral Commission has taken a number of key decisions related to the parliamentary elections, the most high-profile of which was the suspension of the Heart of Moldova party from the campaign,” Logos Press reports.

Every next election in Moldova raises the degree of tension among the participants of the electoral process, politicians, experts and even external partners. To listen to them, one can believe that the struggle is not for warm seats in the parliament, but for the redistribution of the world, at least. And if one or the other is not elected, the world will turn upside down, life will end, the future will fade…. In short, there will be a complete apocalypse.

The Chisinau Court of Appeal has satisfied the suit of the Justice Ministry and restricted for 12 months the activity of the Republican Party “Heart of Moldova” of the ex-bashkan of Gagauzia, Irina Vlah, – reports Logos Press.

The Central Electoral Commission has registered the electoral bloc “Patriotic Bloc of Socialists, Heart and Future of Moldova” to participate in the parliamentary elections scheduled for September 28, 2025. The relevant decision was unanimously adopted by the CEC members who participated in the meeting on Sunday, August 3, Logos Press reported.

The number of voters dropped by 2,157 over the year, from 3,300,600 on Aug. 1 last year to 3,298,443 this year, according to Logos Press.

President Maia Sandu said she will promulgate a law on national security that will make the decisions of the Supreme Security Council (SSC) binding, Logos Press reported.

Thirty-nine parties are eligible to participate in the 2025 parliamentary elections, of which 14 are at risk of recall.

Almost 180 million euros were spent on hidden online advertising during last year’s presidential election,” Logos Press reported.

The list of countries where it will be possible to vote by mail during parliamentary elections will be expanded,” Logos press reports.
