Very interesting events described yesterday! The whole story of the elections in Bălți, in particular, has tragi-comic aspects ... I am not a fan of the Șor Party (nor of Tauber) at all, but I have the impression that this time the CEC confused it badly ... However, I also noticed a typical Moldovan anomaly: PAS (along with PLDM) are full member parties of the International Democrat Union, the international right-wing conservative party. (https://www.idu.org/members/) At the same time, the IDU includes a regional political union: the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) Party. Of which the Șor Party is a part! (https://ecrparty.eu/about#family) In a way, we can say that PAS and ȘOR are colleagues, even if indirectly, within IDU, because, theoretically, they share the same ideology and the same values of the right! This, even PAS, in its Statute, declares itself a party with social-liberal doctrine (so, center-left), and ȘOR is known for the eminently left-wing political approaches and for the pro-Russian tendency. I give these data here only for scientific rigor, I do not judge them. (However, I can't understand how the hell the Șor Party was received in the ECR Party?!? Stupidity or corruption?)
Turning to another topic now, as I suppose you know, Ghenadie Tanas was exposed as corrupt by a fellow citizen of the same city, Ungheni, namely Andrian Cheptonar. He worked at SIS for a while and is now a PAS deputy. No wonder, then, that as a former (and current?) Member of the secret services, he had access to a lot of data about Tanas. In any case, justice must be done.
P.S. If you ever consider a serious and exhaustive analysis of Moldovan parties, I would be happy to give you a helping hand if you deem it necessary.
