Public Opinion Survey: Residents of Moldova Public Opinion Survey: Residents of Moldova September-October 2017 Detailed Methodology • The survey was coordinated by Dr. Rasa Alisauskiene from Baltic Surveys/The Gallup Organization on behalf of the Center for Insights in Survey Research .

  • Moldova: from Oligarchic Pluralism to Plahotniuc's Hegemony
    Centre for Eastern Studies NUMBER 208 | 07.04.2016 www.osw.waw.pl Moldova: from oligarchic pluralism to Plahotniuc’s hegemony Kamil Całus Moldova’s political system took shape due to the six-year rule of the Alliance for European Integration coalition but it has undergone a major transformation over the past six months. Resorting to skilful political manoeuvring and capitalising on his control over the Moldovan judiciary system, Vlad Plahotniuc, one of the leaders of the nominally pro-European Democra- tic Party and the richest person in the country, was able to bring about the arrest of his main political competitor, the former prime minister Vlad Filat, in October 2015. Then he pushed through the nomination of his trusted aide, Pavel Filip, for prime minister. In effect, Plahot- niuc has concentrated political and business influence in his own hands on a scale unseen so far in Moldova’s history since 1991. All this indicates that he already not only controls the judi- ciary, the anti-corruption institutions, the Constitutional Court and the economic structures, but has also subordinated the greater part of parliament and is rapidly tightening his grip on the section of the state apparatus which until recently was influenced by Filat. Plahotniuc, whose power and position depends directly on his control of the state apparatus and financial flows in Moldova, is not interested in a structural transformation of the country or in implementing any thorough reforms; this includes the Association Agreement with the EU. This means that as his significance grows, the symbolic actions so far taken with the aim of a structural transformation of the country will become even more superficial.

  • OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights Election Observation Mission Republic of Moldova Parliamentary Elections, 24 February 2019
    OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights Election Observation Mission Republic of Moldova Parliamentary Elections, 24 February 2019 INTERIM REPORT 15 January – 4 February 2019 8 February 2019 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The 24 February parliamentary elections will be the first held under the newly introduced mixed electoral system with 50 members of parliament (MPs) elected through proportional closed lists in a single nationwide constituency and 51 MPs elected in single member majoritarian constituencies. ODIHR and the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission) have previously raised concerns about the lack of an inclusive public debate and consultation during the change to the mixed system and because the issue polarized public opinion and did not achieve a broad consensus. • Significant amendments were made to the Election Code in 2017 to reflect the mixed electoral system, improve regulation of financing, and to introduce a number of other changes. Observation by ODIHR EOM to date has showed that some ambiguities in the legal framework remain open to interpretation. • Three levels of election administration are responsible for organizing the elections: the Central Election Commission (CEC), 51 District Electoral Councils (DECs) and 2,143 Precinct Electoral Bureaus (PEBs). The CEC established 125 polling stations in 37 countries for out-of-country voting and designated 47 polling stations on the government controlled territory for voters in Transniestria. CEC and DEC sessions have so far been open to observers and published their decisions on-line. The CEC is undertaking an extensive training programme for election officials and other stakeholders, including on ensuring voting rights of people with disabilities, and a voter information campaign focused on the specifics of the new electoral system.

  • OSW COMMENTARY NUMBER 168 1 European Integration (AIE)
    Centre for Eastern Studies NUMBER 168 | 22.04.2015 www.osw.waw.pl An appropriated state? Moldova’s uncertain prospects for modernisation Kamil Całus There have been several significant changes on Moldova’s domestic political scene in the wake of the November 2014 parliamentary elections there. Negotiations lasted nearly two months and re- sulted in the formation of a minority coalition composed of two groupings: the Liberal-Democratic Party (PLDM) and the Democratic Party (PDM). New coalition received unofficial support from the Communist Party (PCRM), which had previously been considered an opposition party. Contrary to their initial announcements, PDLM and PDM did not admit the Liberal Party led by Mihai Ghim- pu to power. Moreover, they blocked the nomination for prime minister of the incumbent, Iurie Leancă. Leancă has been perceived by many as an honest politician and a guarantor of reforms. This situation resulted in the political model present in Moldova since 2009 being preserved. In this model the state’s institutions are subordinated to two main oligarch politicians: Vlad Filat (the leader of PLDM) and Vlad Plahotniuc (a billionaire who de facto controls PDM). With control over the state in the hands of Filat and Plahotniuc questions are raised regarding the prospects of Moldova’s real modernisation. It will also have a negative impact on the process of implementation of Moldova’s Association Agreement with the EU and on other key reforms concerning, for example, the judiciary, the financial sector and the process of de-politicisation of the state’s institutions. From both leaders’ perspective, any changes to the current state of affairs would be tantamount to limiting their influence in politics and the economy, which would in turn challenge their business activities.

  • Moldovan Governance and Accountability
    MOLDOVAN GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY Testimony for a Hearing of the U.S. Commission for Security and Cooperation in Europe March 10, 2020 William H. Hill Global Fellow Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars I wish to thank the Helsinki Commission, in particular Chairman Hastings and Co-Chairman Wicker, for this opportunity to address important developments and ongoing issues in the Republic of Moldova. Events over the past year in Moldova have once again raised hopes that this country was finally shaking off the persistent ills of its post-Soviet history and embarking on a clear path of reform and movement toward fuller rule of law and economic prosperity. Unfortunately, similar to what happened a decade ago, hopeful movement toward real reform has strayed into a familiar pattern of cronyism, political reprisals, and geopolitical posturing. There is a growing, real fear that Moldova has lost its opportunity and movement toward constructive change, and lapsed back into a familiar pattern of continued corruption, impoverishment, and depopulation. Moldova is not a large, powerful, or obviously influential country, but it is important for Europe and the United States in a number of ways. The weakness of Moldova’s institutions and the country’s enduring poverty hamper the capacity of the broader international community to address regional security issues, such as smuggling, trafficking, migration, organized crime, and public health. Institutional weakness, social discord, and poverty on the right bank of the Nistru River contribute to the continuing failure to resolve the Transdniestrian conflict. As a result, the continuing existence of the unrecognized separatist entity on the left bank benefits corrupt elites, not only in the separatist entity, but throughout Moldova, other countries in the region, and around the globe.
