The main leaders of the European Union sent congratulatory messages to the Republic of Moldova after the Action and Solidarity Party (PAS) won the parliamentary elections with over 50% of the votes, securing a majority of seats in the future Legislature.
The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that Sunday’s vote confirmed the citizens’ clear choice for the European path:
“Moldova, you succeeded once again. No attempt to sow fear or division could break your determination. You made a clear choice: Europe. Democracy. Freedom. Our door is open, and we will support you at every step. The future is yours.”
The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, congratulated Moldova on this “historic moment”:
“The future of the Republic of Moldova is in Europe! The people chose democracy, hope, and opportunities. Europe is Moldova. Moldova is Europe.”
The President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, emphasized that the elections delivered a clear message in favor of democracy and reform:
“Citizens expressed themselves clearly. They chose democracy, reform, and a European future, despite pressures and interference from Russia. The European Union supports the Republic of Moldova at every step.”
Preliminary results show that PAS obtained over 50% of the votes and 55 mandates in the new Parliament, allowing the party to form a parliamentary majority.
