Former president Traian Băsescu anticipates a victory for pro-European forces in the parliamentary elections on Sunday in the Republic of Moldova: "The tricolor at the mast! September 28, 2025 will be the day when a small country like the Republic of Moldova will administer a humiliating defeat to Vladimir Putin."

Former President Traian Băsescu stated that on September 28, 2025, the Republic of Moldova will achieve a symbolic victory against Vladimir Putin, emphasizing the importance of the elections for the country's pro-European future. The election in Chișinău, monitored by the OSCE, is crucial for electoral integrity, in the context of external pressures and disinformation campaigns from Russia. The Action and Solidarity Party (PAS), currently in power, is the favorite, but risks losing its majority, which could lead to negotiations for a coalition. The elections are held under a proportional electoral system, with different thresholds for parties and independent candidates.
