Moldova Bans Pro-Russian Party from Upcoming Election
Moldova is holding an election, but the Greater Moldova party has been banned from participating.
This decision was made because the party is suspected of using money from illegal sources and trying to influence voters.
This is the second pro-Russian party to be banned.
The current pro-European government fears Russian interference.
The party being banned claims it's a biased decision.
This election is important for Moldova's goal of joining the European Union.
Moldova excluded the Greater Moldova party from Sunday's election.
The exclusion followed findings of illegal financing and foreign funding.
This is the second pro-Russian party excluded.
Officials suspect the party acted as a successor to an outlawed party.
The ruling party might lose its majority in parliament.
