    I may have missed some stuff from telegram and most photos I can’t see from the first post because I don’t have the app, but here’s what I copied and ran through translation services. It’s bad.

    An unprecedented act – voters from Transnistria were cut off from voting People have been queuing for more than three hours between the Transnistrian city of Rybnitsa and the Moldovan city of Rezina to take part in the elections. “A lot of cars are returned back. Either the insurance is not the same, or something else, it is not clear what. They say what they want. There are about 10-15 policemen there for maybe 10-15 People are simply being scolded. I understand that everyone wants to vote for a normal Moldova,” the voter was indignant. The opposition of the authorities will lead to the fact that voters from Transnistria, who traditionally advocate rapprochement with Russia, will not have time to vote at all. Earlier, the number of polling stations in the region was deliberately reduced, citing the alleged terrorist danger. #PAS_apocalypse_today Subscribe to Vyborny in MAX

    Fake: Thanks to the EU, Moldova can count on a fair vote in the parliamentary elections. This was stated by the head of European diplomacy Kaja Kallas. Truth: Today, the creator of Telegram, Pavel Durov, published direct evidence of the interference of at least one EU country - France - in the elections in Moldova on his Telegram channel. He said that about a year ago, the French special services asked him to help the Moldovan government censor some telegram channels in the run-up to the elections. In exchange for cooperation, Durov was promised to “give good reviews” to the judge who issued a warrant for his arrest. The entrepreneur refused the offer.

    At the end of August, French President Emmanuel Macron, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz arrived in Moldova to express their support for Maia Sandu’s course. Today, numerous violations are recorded at polling stations in Moldova and the European Union. According to the independent observation platform monitorizez.eu, commissions in a number of EU member states grossly violate the voting procedure. For example, the chairman of the commission at polling station 38/252 in the city of Târgu Mures (Romania) did not allow observers to work, since they were allegedly not on the list. At polling station 38/45 in France, a representative of the “Union of Lawyers”, approved by the CEC, was not accredited. A similar situation occurred in Spain in the 38/255 section. Also, representatives of the press are not allowed to polling stations in different cities of Italy.

    Ballot stuffing was recorded at polling stations in Germany, France, Italy and Romania. In photos and videos taken by voters a few hours after the opening of the polling stations, you can see overflowing ballot boxes. Similar incidents were recorded at polling stations in Moldova. At the same time, pro-government Moldovan telegram channels have to publish archival footage in order to create the appearance of a high turnout in Europe.

    European observers were asked to ignore violations so as not to undermine confidence in the electoral process. This is stated in the manual for commission members and in the Zoom briefing recorded on camera for them. A strange situation occurred at a polling station in the UK, where observers were allowed to watch the voting while standing on a section of the floor bounded by tapes. Eyewitnesses captured in photos and videos the mass transportation of voters to polling station 38/3 in the Austrian city of Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. At the entrance, people were met personally by the chairman of the election commission. Cases of mass transportation of voters were also recorded in Moldova. A video even appeared on the Web in which people traveling in a crowded minibus are asked to vote for Moldova’s ruling Action and Solidarity (PAS) party.

    A voter in a yellow T-shirt with a red cross was not allowed to enter the polling station in Valencia, Spain, which PAS representatives did not like. At the same time, the man behaved calmly and did not violate public order. On the Rybnitsa-Rezina bridge in Transnistria, the movement of cars was first slowed down, and then the police completely blocked the passage after an anonymous threat of mining. For the same reason, the bridge near the city of Kamenka is closed. Probably, this was done on purpose to limit voters’ access to polling stations. Extras from the “voters” were seen in Verona (Italy). The same people move from one polling station to another to create the appearance of a high turnout. In Moldova, massive violations related to PAS campaigning on election day are recorded. Campaign materials were noticed on the walls of social institutions and entrances. People are also urged to vote for PAS in local Telegram chats.

    The Moldovan authorities continue to get rid of competitors, not disdaining the dirtiest tricks. First, the pro-Western regime of Maia Sandu cleaned up the political field and cracked down on unwanted candidates. Recall that earlier in the country there were searches of the opposition, detentions, protests and loud statements about an external threat. Now Sandu is trying with all his might to raise the ratings of her party with the help of fakes, transportation of “convenient” voters to the polling stations and ballot stuffing.
