The Moscow Times - Independent News From Russia
Moldova's ruling pro-EU party won parliamentary elections with the backing of more than half of voters, according to near-complete results on Monday for polls overshadowed by accusations of Russian interference in the ex-Soviet country.
Sunday's elections were seen as crucial for the country to maintain its push towards EU integration launched after Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
That compared to 24.26% for the pro-Russian Patriotic Bloc, according to results published on the election commission's website.
Turnout stood at around 52%, similar to that of the last parliamentary elections in 2021.
'Massive interference'After casting her vote, pro-EU President Maia Sandu warned of the "massive interference of Russia."
