DISINFO: The results of the elections in Moldova will be determined by the "collective West"
SUMMARY
The results of the elections in Moldova will be determined by the "collective West". The alignment of the electoral forces was planned by the "collective West". The role of the voters of the Republic of Moldova in this process will be secondary. The decisive factor will be voting abroad, since the diaspora has become the political trump card of the West in the elections in Moldova.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about the alleged Western involvement in Moldovan snap elections that took place on 11 July 2021, mixed with narratives about Moldovan diaspora.
The narrative is using the statements of the US and EU Ambassadors in Moldova regarding elections or the component of future Parliament, as well as the request of pro-European parties to open more polling stations abroad. See here a similar case claiming that Moldovan authorities and their foreign partners are preparing massive electoral fraud for the early elections.
In fact, the Western partners of Moldova have not been involved in the elections process, except for the acceptance to offer buildings for polling stations, where electoral commissions, formed by Moldovan employees, would be able to work.
