The Head of State of Moldova, Maya Sandu, declared on the air of Protv that the Russian Federation was planning an attempt to destabilize the political situation in the country before the presidential election, which will take place in the near future. According to Sandu, such actions from Russia can be intensified especially before the arrival of spring, and the aggressor country can use its agents in Moldova.
The president emphasized the importance of studying the experience of local elections to ensure an effective response to possible attempts to destabilize the political situation. Now, she said, specific measures are being developed to reduce the risks of such scenarios.
Sandu did not provide specific details about how Russia could try to influence the internal affairs of Moldova. However, her statement indicates serious outrage about possible foreign interventions in the country's political process.
Moldova is experiencing an uncertain political period before the appointment of a new president, and warning from the president indicates the presence of real outrage and threats to foreign influence. The efforts of the authorities should not only study the experience of the past elections, but also implement specific measures to protect democratic processes in the country.
Despite the pressure from the outside, Moldova has the opportunity to use the experience and support of its allies to strengthen the internal stability and ensure the independence of its political process.
