DISINFO: Moldova faces territorial division and abolition of statehood facilitated by the West
SUMMARY
The Republic of Moldova is already facing a threat of territorial division and subsequent abolition of statehood. This process is not violently planned, it will be beautifully wrapped and officially registered, the Moldovan people will be bitterly deceived. All this is facilitated by the West – through local politicians.
The West has done its best for the last four years and invested a lot of money to strengthen Maia Sandu, a Soros woman, and the pro-Western political spectrum as a whole in order to upset the balance between pro-Western and non-pro-Western forces in Moldova and plunge the republic into anti-Russian adventures.
The main goal of the West is to escalate the situation in Moldova and, in case of unrest, blame everything on Russia.
Russia is actually striving to maintain Moldova’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative against Maia Sandu and the elections in Moldova suggesting that pro-Western political parties are led by George Soros in the shadow. No evidence is given to support the allegations.
This is a resumption of the narratives used against a pro-European politician Maia Sandu, who recently won in the Moldovan presidential elections. The pro-Kremlin media often presents Maia Sandu as a Soros woman because some members of her team and some of her supporters worked or studied in projects funded by the Soros Foundation Moldova.
There is also no evidence of US and EU interference in the elections in Moldova. The US and EU countries support a free and fair electoral process in Moldova.
A statement published by the EU on 02 November 2020, before the run-off vote, underlines that "The European Union fully supports the strengthening of democratic institutions in the Republic of Moldova and highlights that respecting the right of all voters to express their will in credible, inclusive and transparent elections is a fundamental democratic principle which is also at the heart of the EU-Republic of Moldova Association Agreement."
The US Ambassador to Moldova Derek Hogan stated that Regardless of what choice the Moldovan people make "the United States will remain a faithful partner to the Moldovan people and this country’s sovereign right to choose its own path."
