Domaine de Grand Pré’s Recipe for Award-Winning Service and Hospitality | SaltWireCHISINAU - Moldovans go to the polls on Sunday to elect mayors of villages, towns and cities after the president accused Moscow of meddling in the votes in Ukraine's western neighbour and a pro-Russian party was barred from the race.
The election to pick 12,000 officials pits dozens of parties against each other, including Sandu's ruling Party of Action and Solidarity and the pro-Russian Revival party linked to Shor, who has been convicted in absentia for fraud. In the capital Chisinau, mayor Ion Ceban is running for a second term against the PAS party's Lilian Carp. Ceban, who used to hold a pro-Russian position, set up a pro-European party in 2022, though PAS still regards him as a potential Moscow ally.
Responding to Sandu's comments this week, Russia's foreign ministry called the Moldovan president a"disgrace" and said she was trying to distract attention from her government's failings.
