Moldovans will cast ballots in nationwide local elections on Sunday amid claims by Moldovan authorities that Russia has been conducting a"hybrid warfare" to undermine the vote in the European Union candidate country.
Two days before the election, Moldova Prime Minister Dorin Recean announced a ban on candidates from the pro-Russia Chance Party. On Friday, Moldova’s national intelligence agency published a report alleging that Russia was trying to “influence the electoral process” through the party. About 600 candidates will be affected.
Addressing the party's ban on Sunday in Chisinau, Moldovan President Maia Sandu told reporters that “elections are about democracy and compliance with the law. Those who do not follow the law, bribe voters, use illegal money — do not meet democratic standards.” Cristian Cantir, a Moldovan associate professor of international relations at Oakland University, said that although Sunday’s election is “very much about local issues,” they are “also important geopolitically.”
In late October, Moldovan authorities blocked dozens of Russian media sites, including major ones such as Russia Today, accusing them of running “disinformation campaigns” against Moldova.
