Prime Minister warns about risk of vote fraud
Prime Minister Dorin Recean said today that during the 2024 elections, about 8% of the votes were fraudulent, and “this year's target is even higher.” The official assured that state institutions are acting to prevent attempts of vote fraud, enabling citizens to freely express their choices in the parliamentary election.
“Last year, about 8% of the votes were fraudulent. This year's target is even higher because what Russia and the criminal groups it funds have understood is that the only way to defeat us as a democracy is through voting. They have attempted destabilization, tried to create conflict in the Nistru region, organized paid protests with attacks on law enforcement institutions, realized they cannot defeat us this way, and now focus on disinformation, spreading false information, trying to scare people, and direct vote-buying, both here in Moldova and in the diaspora,” Dorin Recean stated.
The Prime Minister emphasized that state institutions are acting and practically every day engage in targeted interventions against those organizing vote fraud, as well as the financing of other illegal activities such as propaganda and spreading false information. The official assured that “this effort will continue.”
Additionally, he made an appeal to the electoral competitors.
“We are in a democracy and the way to build life in the interest of the citizens of the Republic of Moldova is to have an honest competition with a concrete development plan for the citizens, not a bribery plan with money stolen from the citizens of the Republic of Moldova or taken from criminal groups,” concluded the Prime Minister.
In the past two weeks, the Police conducted over 200 searches resulting in the detention of nine individuals investigated in a criminal case initiated for acts of electoral corruption, illegal political party financing, and money laundering.
On September 28, Moldovan citizens with the right to vote are expected at the polls to elect the next Parliament.
