Moldovan President Maia Sandu has been re-elected, securing a second term amid concerns of Russian interference. Sandu, who advocates for closer ties with the European Union, defeated pro-Russian candidate Alexandr Stoianoglo in a tense election. Since taking office, Sandu has pushed for reforms to combat corruption and attract investment. She has emphasized the importance of EU membership for Moldova's future, likening it to a "Marshall Plan" for economic recovery. Sandu's leadership has faced criticism over economic challenges and her ability to engage with dissenting voices. In her victory speech, she promised to be a "president for all" and to work towards peace and a better life for all Moldovans.
