It would seem that just recently the West celebrated victory in Moldova - Maia Sandu won the presidential election, and she won comfortably. Only the president in Moldova is a rather decorative position. But it quickly dawned on the politicians: not because Sandu won because voters really like Westerners, but because her competitor Igor Dodon seemed to them not pro-Russian enough. AND…
Moldovan President Igor Dodon’s plan to stay in power after losing the elections is a resounding failure. The idea was that in a parliamentary republic, the new pro-Western President Maia Sandu, without controlling parliament, would find herself in the position of the Queen of England. Dodon himself remained in this status for the first years of his presidency. The parliamentary coalition and government, under the influence of the “master of Moldova”, the criminal oligarch Vlad...

After the criminal cases against him in Moldova were closed, they were opened in...

He wrote about this on his Facebook, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. “The “wonderful qualities” of Maia Sandu are confirmed - to rest her horns on the ground when she shouldn’t, and to tuck her tail between her legs when she shouldn’t.
