Presidential elections in Moldova (libranet.de)

Hi all,

Today it's the 2nd round of presidential elections in Moldova. The candidates are:

Maia Sandu - the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS), pro-EU
Alexandr Stoianoglu - Socialists (PSRM), less pro-EU, rather pro-Russia, supported more or less by the Kremlin.

Get your Moldovan friends to the ballots if you have any. I'll try to keep you posted about any updates as much as I can (I'll be on a hike so I likely won't have that much cell service).

Here's the Election Commission's official website where you can see the presence in real time (as well as the results after the polls close): pv.cec.md/

Right now it's around 10:00 AM here in Romania, I guess it's the same in MD

Edit: if you know any Romanian/trust Google Translate enough, here's a live feed: hotnews.ro/live-alegeri-in-rep…

Update Monday, 11:50 AM local time: Ziarul de Gardă published the map of the preliminary results of the elections.

There is also an easier to read map on r/Moldova, back on the spez site.

With the elections coming to a close, international reactions started to flow, most of them congratulating Maia Sandu, with Emmanuel Macron even writing a message in Romanian on X (formerly known as Twitter):

Translation:

I would like to congratulate Maia Sandu on her re-election as President of the Republic of Moldova. Democracy has triumphed in the face of all interference and maneuvering. France will continue to stand by Moldova on its European path

Other leaders who congratulated Maia Sandu were Ursula von der Leyen, Roberta Metsola, as well as the exiled leader of the Belarus opposition, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.

As a personal note, I would also like to thank you for following my updates on this thread, as well as the previous one. I thought that there is too little content regarding the Romanian-speaking space here on fedi overall, hence why I decided to take the matter in my own hands. Do you have any feedback to give me on this? Perhaps you're just as unsatisfied with the federation issues I have as much as I am. Or just write me any other nice stuff that you want 😀

If so, I created a form below:
