#Russia is trying to #destabilize #Moldova with #electionInterference
Moldovan #oligarch #Ilan #Shor was head of Russia-friendly #ShorParty, which was declared unconstitutional in June.
After it was banned, they acquired other parties to weaken gov & democracy as a whole. Result was pro-Russia #ChanceParty -- From Shor to Chance 😂 but just as pro-Russian!
Fugitive Ilan Shor's story is quite illuminating especially in context of US oligarchs trying to destroy US

Moldova's pro-Western government hails elections despite mayoral losses in capital and key cities
Moldova’s ruling pro-European party has lost a bid for the mayorship of the country’s capital and other key cities despite victories in many areas in local elections that were overshadowed by accusations of Russia's meddling. Lilian Carp of the Party of Action and Solidarity, or PAS, lost out to incumbent Chisinau mayor, Ion Ceban, who won just over 50% of the capital’s vote. Before Ceban set up a pro-European party last year, he was widely considered to hold a pro-Russian stance. In recent years, Moldova has looked to foster closer ties with its Western partners and was granted EU candidate status in June last year.
