Moldova's Ruling Party Scrambles for Plan to Keep Power Amid Election Uncertainty
13:04 GMT 19.09.2025 (Updated: 14:02 GMT 19.09.2025) Moldova's ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) is looking into strategies to keep their hold on power should they secure fewer than half of the mandates in the September 28 parliamentary elections, a source familiar with the matter told Sputnik.
"The leadership of Moldova's ruling Action and Solidarity Party is exploring ways to retain power if it wins less than half of the parliamentary seats in the September 28 parliamentary elections," the source said.
The party is considering bribing legislators elected from the opposition party list to compensate for any shortfall, the source added.
"The plan has received support from Chisinau's European partners. EU representatives have promised to turn a blind eye to using part of the funds allocated to promote Moldova's European integration for such purposes," according to the insider.
Brussels has also been communicating to Chisinau that it would condone any methods to combat Moscow's alleged interference in the "democratic processes" even if that means banning "pro-Russian" political forces, the source pointed out.
