PSRM Doesn’t Accept the Results of Presidential Elections Abroad

This was announced by the Party of Socialists, noting that the real winner of the presidential campaign is Alexandr Stoianoglo, whom it nominated as an electoral competitor. The PSRM claimed that the last presidential elections, especially the voting in the Transnistrian region and at foreign polling stations, cannot be called a free and democratic expression of the people will, noi.md reported. “We have faced unjustified reduction of polling stations, blocking voters’ access to polling stations, campaigning during pre-election silence and election silence and other violations in a number of countries, hundreds of cases of deliberate electoral fraud, missing ballot boxes. As a result, hundreds of thousands of citizens were not able to exercise their right to vote, which explains the final gap in the number of votes,” the PSRM emphasized. They also pointed out that international observers had recorded some cases of the use of administrative resources by the country’s authorities in the first round, forced mobilization of public sector workers, unequal access of candidates to the media, and the creation of a monopoly for the incumbent president in the public media. As the PSRM notes, “even in these conditions, Maia Sandu was defeated domestically, while the popular candidate of Moldova, Alexandr Stoianoglo, won a genuine victory in the Moldovan presidential elections.” “51.19 % of Moldovans supported him - people who work here or receive pensions here, pay taxes and utility bills here, raise their children here, live the country’s problems. The majority of Moldovans voted against the policies of the current government,” the party said in a statement. The PSRM emphasized that Maia Sandu had become “president of the diaspora”. The Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova said that it does not accept the voting at foreign polling stations, thanks to which Sandu was declared the winner of the election. “Today, it has become obvious to everyone that no fair and free elections in Moldova are possible without observing the minimum rules of electoral campaigns typical of democratic countries: depoliticization of the Central Electoral Commission, the Constitutional Court, the Audiovisual Council, Public Television, the Court of Accounts and other state bodies. The Party of Socialists will hold talks with other political forces and civil society in order to elaborate a common strategy to depoliticize state bodies and ensure equal conditions during electoral campaigns,” the PSRM said. The Socialist Party heartily thanked all the citizens inside and outside the country who showed civic responsibility and ensured the victory in Moldova of the single candidate of the opposition forces, the people’s president Alexandr Stoianoglo. ‘We will advocate the interests of every inhabitant of Moldova, every district and municipality of the country, who showed their will and made a free choice. ‘Moldova decides’ - this was the slogan of our campaign. The people of Moldova decided on 3 November 2024, indicating their desire to change this power. The people of Moldova will decide in the future, at the upcoming parliamentary elections,” the PSRM stated.
