Moldova Election: Pro-EU Party Leads, Eyes EU Bid
Moldova held an election where voters chose who will run the country.
The pro-EU party is leading, which is good news for those who want to join the EU.
They are ahead of a group that wants closer ties with Russia.
The election was filled with accusations of cheating and interference, including cyberattacks and fake bomb threats.
The final results will determine whether Moldova continues its path towards the EU or shifts in another direction.
If the leading party does not get over 50%, they may need to work with other parties to form a government.
Pro-EU PAS party is leading in the parliamentary election.
Patriotic Bloc, favoring closer ties with Russia, is the main opposition.
Authorities reported cyberattacks and fake bomb threats during the election.
The outcome could impact Moldova's EU aspirations.
Accusations of foul play and Russian interference marred the vote.
