The Patriotic Bloc came in second with 24.33%. It was followed by the ALTERNATIVE Bloc with 8.01%, Our Party with 6.23%, and the Democracy at Home Party (PPDA), which received 5.64%.

By the way, on the eve of the parliamentary elections in Moldova, fakes were spread on social networks about alleged agreements to send Moldovan military personnel to Ukraine to participate in the war that the aggressor country Russia unleashed against it.

At the same time, Russia is trying to push Moldova away from its chosen course towards the European Union. Political analysts note Russia’s active interference in the parliamentary elections . Some figures trying to obtain accreditation as international observers have already been seen at pseudo-referendums in Crimea and the occupied territories of Donbas and Abkhazia.
