President Maia Sandu's pro-European Action Party has won a decisive parliamentary majority, marking a turning point in Moldova's political future. With the pro-Russian opposition defeated, EU membership now appears increasingly attainable.

European leaders hailed the result, despite reports of Russian interference. While some protested the outcome, many Moldovans expressed hope for peace, stability, and a European path forward.
