    There were pro-Russia parties available for those swayed by the propaganda

    The pro-Russian Patriotic Electoral Bloc alliance led by former President Igor Dodon got just 24% of the vote, a result that was much lower than anticipated by many opinion polls.

      so they removed other but allowed one to stay? wow. so much democracy.

      and if they vote for a party aligned with russia it is “propaganda” but if they vote for parties that say russian are orcs and west is the best is because of vast pristine primal knowledge that is so pure you can see through it. got it.

      I have no idea if those “pro-russia” parties are good or not. but if their only fault that you found is that they think maybe russian is eternal enemy number one (which is the standard gauge in the west) then they are ok.

      every party has different views on issues (if they didn’t they would just join others), so saying a party is banned because they are pro another country is not democracy (per my understanding of it of course).

      but it is their country and they are free to do what they like, just be sure to not call it “democratic” elections.

        It’s way more democratic than poisoning your opponents.

        Fuck off with your bad faith arguments you troll.
