Песков: Россия отвергает обвинения во вмешательстве в выборы в Молдавии
Russia has rejected Chisinau's accusations that the Kremlin is interfering in the elections to be held in Moldova. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing:
"We categorically reject these claims. <...> We do not interfere in the internal affairs of others. There are many political forces and citizens in [Moldova] who would like to have good relations with Russia. They are deprived of this right," the Kremlin spokesman said.
He noted that the Moldovan authorities are currently depriving the opposition of political representation, denying it the right to discuss issues of improving relations with the Russian Federation and not allowing independent media to cover the electoral process.
On October 14, Moldova's Central Election Commission issued warnings to four opposition candidates running in Moldova's October 20 presidential elections. The National Election Commission found suspicions of election financing violations in all four of those locations.
The presidential elections in Moldova will be held on October 20, 2024. The referendum on EU membership will be held on the same day. The current president of the republic, Maia Sandu, is running for the post of head of state from the ruling party. The Central Election Commission rejected the application of the representatives of the "Victory" bloc to participate in the elections.
Earlier, the political scientist admitted that the results of the presidential elections in Moldova could be cancelled if Sandu loses.
