The Spin

Officials in Chișinău and across Europe will now breathe a major sigh of relief over Sunday's election, despite an overwhelming campaign of election interference by the Russians. The country can now proceed without hurdles in implementing Moldova's democratic, pro-European mandate.

Establishment-critical narrative

If anyone's responsible for election interference, it's the Moldovan government. By closing key polling stations, closing bridges and removing parties from the ballot, they have ensured they got the result they wanted.
