Moldova elections: PAS actually got more votes in 2025, after 4 years of ruling the country, than in 2021, when they came from the opposition. And Moldova has been facing 30% inflation due to the energy crisis, the pandemic, the war…

In 2021 they got 774.753 votes

A long thread on how I'll be following returns for the Moldovan legisl. election on Sep. 28. Polls close inside MD at 9 p.m. Until then, the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) will only be releasing turnout data throughout the day. Results will start rolling in fairly quickly ...
