Conclusions by the Leader of NOI

Dmitri Torner, leader of the Party “NOI – New Historical Option” and a former parliamentary candidate, shared several conclusions regarding the parliamentary elections held on 28 September 2025.

“Unfortunately, these elections were not a competition of programmes, ideas, and solutions to the serious problems facing the Republic of Moldova. The elections were entirely dominated by geopolitics, while the hysteria generated by many of the participants in the electoral race disoriented voters.”
