That lesson: the impact of the EU’s economic support and extensive cooperation against Russian-backed disinformation campaigns.
Moldova will receive $2 billion in aid from the EU to “strengthen its energy independence from Russia,” according to Brussels. Additionally – with European support – the Moldovan authorities have run a robust campaign against Russian influence.
The Moldovan government has also moved against pro-Russian groups. Two years ago, a pro-Russian party headed by Ilan Shor was banned. Last week, authorities detained more than 70 people and seized passports, cash and weapons in connection with an alleged plot to cause unrest.

If the Russians start bitching about your election results, you know you did it right.

EU doesn’t learn, Moldovan people + government learnt, and EU just spread its nonsense for political points.

I think EU is just trying to get congratulations for something they gave little actual support to. Moldova is the one who did all the hard work and heavy lifting to get this result. EU, as of today, doesn’t have the best PR. The EU is lucky that most of their member states‘ population doesn’t know about the surveillance stuff they’re trying to pull, stuff not so different from what Russia is doing with the Max app.

The lessons are:
-Ban parties from elections who clearly break constitutional and electoral law and ignore the free speech purist idiots
– Carefully monitor the financing of political campaigns and move on to seize any illicit funds immediately

We won’t learn this lesson, just continue drowning in Russian propaganda slop (and god forbid banning parties)
