Kesarev Memo | Moldova's New Government | August 2021
MOLDOVA’S NEW GOVERNMENT Parliament of Moldova approves pro-EU cabinet headed by Natalia Gavrilița August 2021 Issues & Sectors Moldovan Snap Parliamentary Elections, Change of Government in Moldova Stakeholders Government of Moldova, Maia Sandu, Natalia Gavrilita, European Union, Russia Almost a month after the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS), supporting pro-EU Moldovan President Maia Sandu, scored a landslide victory during Moldova’s long-awaited snap parliamentary vote on July 11th, Natalia Gavrilița, an economist and former Finance Minister, has been confirmed as the country’s new Prime Minister. Facing extremely high expectations from the Moldovan public, the Gavrilița Cabinet has already outlined a number of plans for the country’s immediate future, as Moldova continues its recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. Both the European Union and Russia have taken initial steps towards future cooperation with Chisinau, which so far appear to be constructive and focused on the economy rather than politics. Below we provide an introduction into the current state of Moldovan politics, prospects for the country’s political stability, the priorities of the Gavrilița Government, likely future post-election scenarios. as well as initial reactions to the change of government from the EU and Russia. This memo will cover: Post-election landscape 2 The “integrity” government 2 Government priorities and implications for investors 3 Conclusion 5 Moldova’s New Government Page | 1 POST-ELECTION LANDSCAPE On July 11th, Moldova held much-anticipated snap elections to elect the country’s new parliament. The parliamentary vote came as a follow-up to last November’s Presidential elections, when former Prime Minister Maia Sandu, the then-leader of the pro-European Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS), defeated1 her long-standing political rival, Igor Dodon, the country’s former President who was backed by the pro- Russian Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova (PSRM). -

The Functioning of Democratic Institutions in the Republic of Moldova
Doc…. The functioning of democratic institutions in the Republic of Moldova Report1 Co-rapporteurs: Mr Egidijus VAREIKIS, Lithuania, Group of the European People’s Party and Ms Maryvonne BLONDIN, France, Socialists, Democrats and Greens Group Summary In June 2019, three months after the parliamentary elections, the Republic of Moldova faced an unprecedented political and constitutional crisis after the Constitutional Court decided to dissolve the parliament, without, as the Venice Commission noted, fulfilling the conditions required. The Monitoring Committee welcomes the resilience of the Moldovan people and the peaceful end of the crisis with the formation of a parliamentary coalition composed of political parties with divergent views but determined to pursue a common goal: "the de-oligarchisation of the country". The Committee welcomes this move but calls on the authorities to ensure that the reforms undertaken and the "cleansing of institutions" meet the standards of the Council of Europe, aim at the de-politisation and the independence of the institutions, in particular those of the judicial system and the public prosecution office. The Assembly should call on the authorities, with the assistance of the Council of Europe, to continue their efforts, improve their electoral legislation after the abolition of the mixed electoral system, reform the judicial system, fight against corruption and money laundering and shed light on the 2014 bank scandal. The Committee invites the Assembly to follow these developments in the framework of its monitoring procedure. 1 Reference to Committee: Resolution 1115 (1997).

Moldova 2021 STATEMENT of PRELIMINARY
ENEMO International Election Observation Mission Early Parliamentary Elections, 11 July - Moldova 2021 STATEMENT OF PRELIMINARY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 12 July, 2021 ENEMO preliminarily assesses that the electoral process, including the Election Day, was conducted mostly in line with international standards. Elections were administered efficiently and in a transparent manner by the electoral administration, although some of the most important CEC decisions put into question the impartiality of some of its members. The campaign was competitive but marred by a number of alleged violations including misuse of administrative resources, illegal financing, and vote-buying. The polarized and largely biased media landscape, as well as the dissemination of false information, have limited the range of political views presented to voters. Delays in complaints adjudication as well as inconsistent decisions on key aspects of the electoral process additionally affected legal certainty. 1 | P a g e On 1 June the European Network of Election Monitoring Organizations (ENEMO) deployed an International Election Observation Mission (IEOM) to Moldova to observe the Early Parliamentary Elections of 11 July 2021. This is ENEMO’s fifth mission to Moldova. ENEMO has accredited a total of 7 Core Team experts and ten long-term observers (LTOs). Due to health risks created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the IEOM is operating partially remotely, with only a part of the Core Team being deployed in the country. LTOs were additionally deployed in Moldova for Election Day, to observe a selected number of polling stations. ENEMO observed the opening of polling stations, voting and counting processes at 158 polling stations. Additionally, up until July 10, the ENEMO IEOM conducted 738 meetings, 274 with election management bodies, 98 with political parties, 58 with candidates, 94 with state officials, 59 with media, 138 with domestic civil society organizations and 17 with other stakeholders, in addition to observing 23 campaign activities (meetings or rallies). -

Moldova: Freedom in the World 2021 Country Report | Freedom
FREEDOM IN THE WORLD 2021 Moldova 61 PARTLY FREE /100 Political Rights 26 /40 Civil Liberties 35 /60 LAST YEAR'S SCORE & STATUS 60 /100 Partly Free Global freedom statuses are calculated on a weighted scale. See the methodology. TOP Note The numerical scores and status listed above do not reflect conditions in Transnistria, which is examined in a separate report. Freedom in the World reports assess the level of political rights and civil liberties in a given geographical area, regardless of whether they are affected by the state, nonstate actors, or foreign powers. Disputed territories are sometimes assessed separately if they meet certain criteria, including boundaries that are sufficiently stable to allow year-on-year comparisons. For more information, see the report methodology and FAQ. Overview Moldova has a competitive electoral environment, and freedoms of assembly, speech, and religion are mostly protected. Nonetheless, pervasive corruption in the government sector, links between major political figures and powerful economic interests, as well as critical deficiencies in the justice sector and the rule of law continue to hamper democratic governance. Key Developments in 2020 • Former premier Maia Sandu of the Action and Solidarity Party (PAS) became Moldova’s first female president, defeating incumbent Igor Dodon in a free and fair two-round November election. • While authorities instituted largely proportional COVID-19-related restrictions, some businesses and individuals received arbitrary fines and the media regulator unsuccessfully attempted to limit journalists’ ability to quote unofficial sources. Nearly 144,000 COVID-19 cases and 3,000 deaths were recorded by year’s end. • Oligarch Vladimir Plahotniuc, who fled Moldova in 2019, was charged by TOP prosecutors for his alleged involvement in a banking scandal in May. -
Moldovan Headaches: the Republic of Moldova 120 Days After the 2001
Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy at the University of Hamburg Claus Neukirch Moldovan Headaches The Republic of Moldova 120 days after the 2001 Parliamentary Elections Working Paper 3 Moldovan Headaches The Republic of Moldova 120 days after the 2001 Parliamentary Elections 1. Introduction The 2001 Parliamentary Elections in the Republic of Moldova were conducted in an atmos- phere of extreme social and economic hardship. The average monthly salary in the former Soviet Republic, sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine, is around 30 US-Dollar today and the real GDP of the country has fallen to 30 percent of the pre-independence level1. Moldova, which has no natural resources and whose economy is dominated by the agricul- tural sector, has now replaced Albania as the poorest country in Europe. When Moldovans were asked in a recent opinion poll what they fear most, 39 percent of the respondents an- swered ‘poverty’. In the same poll 87 percent stated that their income is hardly enough to cover their minimum expenses and 52 percent said that they would leave Moldova for good or at least for a certain period of time2. Already today over 700,000 Moldovan citizens are said to be abroad. Ten years after independence, Moldova has become a country without much hope, battered not only by economic decline, corruption3 and debt4 but also by an identity crises. The discussions of the early nineties, on whether Moldova is a nation in its own right or simply an offshoot of Romania, have quieted down, but not disappeared altogether. The conflicts between pro-Romanian unionists and Moldovanists have made it also more difficult to create a civic identity, which would include the Russians, the Ukrainians, the Gagauz, the Bulgarians, the Jews and other non-Moldovans which account for nearly 35 percent of the Republic’s population.
