Moldova holds presidential election as pro-EU leader faces former prosecutor

sg.news.yahoo.com — November 3, 2024 at 03:01 AM UTC

Moldova's presidential election on Sunday features pro-EU President Maia Sandu against former prosecutor Alexandr Stoianoglo, whom she dismissed in 2023. The election is crucial for Moldova's future direction amid concerns of Russian interference. Sandu, a symbol of change since her 2020 victory, advocates for EU membership, but a recent referendum showed limited support. Critics argue she has struggled with economic issues, while her supporters emphasize her commitment to anti-corruption. Stoianoglo, backed by pro-Russian parties, campaigns for a "balanced foreign policy" and has faced corruption allegations. He boycotted the recent EU membership referendum, calling it a "parody," and aims to present an alternative to Sandu's leadership.
