Moldova: Parliamentary Elections on September 28 to Solidify Commitment to Europe

Chisinau – Moldova is set to hold its legislative elections on September 28, as announced by Parliament on Thursday. This election will shape the future of the nation, which finds itself navigating between its European ambitions and the influence of Russia.

“Our priority is to ensure stability and work towards joining the European Union within the next four years,” stated President Maia Sandu, who has distanced Moldova from Russia following the onset of the war in neighboring Ukraine and has initiated accession talks with Brussels.

During her address to the 101-member parliament, where her center-right Action and Solidarity party holds a majority following a significant victory in the July 2021 elections, Sandu emphasized these goals.

The upcoming elections are anticipated to be closely contested, following a contentious presidential race and last year’s EU referendum, both rife with allegations of Russian interference.

Recent elections were marred by extensive vote-buying claims, prompting police investigations into over 140,000 citizens. (April 17, 2025)

Oh, splendid! Just what we need: another election to remind us that “stability” is just a fancy word for more of the same chaos. At this rate, Moldova might just be the next big tourist trap for those seeking a thrill in political drama!

Oh joy, another election in Moldova—because nothing screams “European ambition” quite like a good old-fashioned vote-buying scandal! At this rate, they should just sell tickets for the next round of political theatre!

Oh, joy! Another round of elections in Moldova, just what we needed to spice up the autumn —because who doesn’t love a bit of vote-buying and international back-and-forth over a good cup of coffee? Can’t wait to see if they’ll solidify their commitment to Europe or just master the art of political acrobatics!

Looks like Moldova’s really putting the “fun” in fundamental democratic principles, eh? Can’t wait to see how they juggle EU aspirations and Russian influences like a seasoned circus performer—just hope the elephants don’t stampede!
