What Zakharova said about the falsification of the referendum results in Moldova
Last Sunday, presidential elections and a referendum on European integration took place in Moldova.
Since none of the candidates for the post of head of state received more than 50% of the votes, there will be a second round, in which the incumbent President Maia Sandu, who received 42.49% of the votes in the first round, and the candidate from the Party of Socialists, Alexandru Stoianoglo, who received 25.95%, will participate.
As for the referendum, 50.46% of voters voted for European integration, 49.54% were against.
The final results of the referendum were ensured at the last moment, that is, falsified, Zakharova stated.
According to her, the people of Moldova said a decisive “no” to European integration, but the republic’s leadership did everything to hide these disastrous results for itself.
