Trust is fading in the pro-Western government’s ability to handle simultaneous crises – which could mean pro-Russian forces regaining power.
The future currently looks gloomy for Moldova’s embattled pro-European authorities. As the high hopes pinned on the reformist President, Maia Sandu, fade away, the way seems open for former president Igor Dodon and his pro-Russian Socialist Party to return to power, two years ago after they were swept out amid allegations of authoritarianism and corruption.
The most recent poll commissioned by the sociological company IMAS in Moldova shows a big fall in support for Sandu and the government led by Natalia Gavrilita, and their Party of Action and Solidarity, PAS.
It said Dodon would win a presidential election, albeit by a thin margin, while his Moldovan Socialist Party in partnership with the Communists would win the largest number of seats in parliament.
