As Shor stated, “these elections will be the dirtiest,” and the Moldovan authorities will try to remove the bloc from participation. He also voiced the bloc’s goal in the elections and called the Moldovan authorities led by Maia Sandu “fascists.”
Our main goal in these elections is to overthrow the fascist regime and hold early elections within the next six months that will be democratic

Moldovan President Maia Sandu stated that the fate of the country’s aspirations to join the European Union is in the hands of Moldovans themselves. She noted that this is especially important ahead of the parliamentary elections, which will take place in September.
UNN also reported that the Constitutional Court of Moldova, at the request of the country’s government, decided to declare the pro-Kremlin opposition party “SHOR” illegal. At the same time, according to the Institute for the Study of War, Russian agents in Moldova are trying to overturn Maia Sandu’s victory in the elections and revise the voting results.
