The leaders of the Action and Solidarity Party (PAS) urged citizens on Thursday to “weigh well” their choice in the parliamentary elections on September 28, framing the vote as a decision between the “past” and the “future.”
“There are only 10 days left to think. And unfortunately, the dangers are real,” said Parliament Speaker Igor Grosu. “Let’s look at what the PAS has achieved in just four years, despite mistakes, and let’s look at what they did to our country when they were in power. It’s not about the PAS, it’s about where our vote will lead us on September 28. There are only two options. There is no middle ground.”
Other party leaders stressed the risks of pro-Russian forces returning to power or of alliances with figures whom PAS labels as “corrupt” or “close to the Kremlin.” Prime Minister Dorin Recean warned that a change in majority could undo reforms and bring “criminals” back into politics. “The fugitives hiding abroad will be brought back with bread and salt by our opponents. Those who stole from Moldova for years will return as ministers and deputies,” he said.

Deputy Lilian Carp added, “The Kremlin wants absolute control. They want to keep us poor, dependent, and silent. If we let them win, we risk losing everything we achieved with difficulty: freedom of speech, freedom of choice, and our European dream.”
The Central Electoral Commission registered 23 competitors for the September 28 elections. The PAS occupies the first position on the ballot.
