Moldovans appear set to weaken Russia s influence and push Europe s poorest country toward further integration with the continent in snap parliamentary elections on July 11.
Some 3.2 million people, including a sizeable diaspora abroad, are eligible to cast ballots for more than 20 parties and blocks in the running.
But only two the pro-European Action and Solidarity Party (PAS) founded by President Maia Sandu, and the Russia-friendly Electoral Bloc of Communists and Socialists (BeCS) are seen as locks to enter the 101-seat parliament.
Each is predicted to get up to 37 percent of the vote, according to the latest polls, although most surveys have PAS coming out on top, potentially with an outright majority of 51 seats or more.

Nevertheless, Dodon invited Voronin’s Communists into this bloc, yielding to Voronin’s conditions (e.g., the first spot on the ticket), in return for the few residual Communist votes. This move reflects the Socialists’ fear of losing th
