CHISINAU, Moldova (AP) — Moldova’s electoral commission on Friday barred two pro-Russian parties from participating in this weekend’s tense parliamentary election, which is beleaguered by widespread claims of Russian interference.
The outcome of Sunday’s high-stakes vote could determine whether Moldova, a Soviet republic until 1991 and a candidate for European Union membership since 2022, can continue on a path toward the EU or will be brought back under Russia’s orbit.
The parties barred Friday, the Heart of Moldova and Moldova Mare, face allegations of illegal financing and voter bribery.
The Heart of Moldova was one of four parties in the Russia-friendly Patriotic Electoral Bloc, or BEP, which is viewed as one of the main opponents of the ruling pro-Western Party of Action and Solidarity in Sunday’s election. The Moldova Mare was another opposition party, but was widely expected to present less of a challenge.

“The outcome of Sunday’s high-stakes vote could determine whether Moldova, a Soviet republic until 1991 and a candidate for European Union membership since 2022, can continue on a path toward the EU or will be brought back under Russia’s orbit. “
Now how can that be true when the anti-EU people are shut out? It’s a Hobson’s Choice with the only horse available is the EU.
Nothing says “democracy” like banning parties in Moldava, overturning elections in Romania, working with Soros and other NGOs to remove Orban in Hungary, banning AfD in Germany, and having an unelected President governing the EU
Don’t forget Tony Blair angling to be king of Gaza.
Do all those Russian soldiers occupying eastern Moldova get to vote, too?
I rather, rather doubt it on multiple grounds. But they are just there to defend the pro-Russian Transnistrians and their homes.

King is a bit much. It would make Charlie jealous.
The UK has dukes, but they have no grand dukes. Let’s change that. Make Tony Blair the Grand Duke of Gaza. Greta Thunberg can tag along as the Grand Duchess.

Interesting idea. Maybe they want to create a new fiefdom for adding a new Noble house.
