The ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) won Moldova’s September 28 parliamentary elections with 50.2% of the vote and 55 out of 101 seats, ensuring a continued pro-European course during President Maia Sandu’s term. However, the pro-European leadership remains fragile, as PAS lost four seats and relied heavily on diaspora votes for its majority. Moldova’s deep societal divide is further intensified by Russia’s interference and the government’s alleged misuse of administrative power during the elections.
