He said this in an interview with Ukrinform.“In recent months, Moldova has been on everyone’s lips because it has become a battleground between the past and the future — between democratic development and European integration on one hand, and a return to the old anti-democratic system on the other,” Chiveri noted. “President Maia Sandu described the parliamentary elections as a test of democracy under attack, which the citizens of Moldova successfully passed.”According to the ambassador, the Kremlin tried to influence the will of Moldovan citizens through bribery, propaganda, and intimidation, with the scale of interference surpassing that seen during the 2024 presidential elections.“Based on the information available, Russia allocated at least €100 million — and possibly more — to try to sway our elections. For a small country like Moldova, this is a huge amount,” Chiveri added.He quoted President Maia Sandu, who said during the European Political Community Summit in Copenhagen that “the parliamentary elections should be seen as a warning for all of Europe. What has happened in Moldova over the past few months, and especially in the final weeks before the elections, could happen in any European country.”On September 29, after processing 100% of the protocols, Moldova's Central Election Commission announced the final results from the polling stations — the pro-European PAS party (50%) defeated the pro-Russian bloc of communists and socialists (24%).
