Yes probably. If the polling is correct (which is a big if, especially in Moldova) and only those 4 parties get into Parliament. Action and Solidarity might have the minimum goodwill required to start negotiations with Our Party, which is something it certainly does not have with Socialists or Sor. Needless to say however, the negotiations would be insanely tough and if they make it out of them it would lead to an extremely awkward and unpopular coalition.

Another option would be for Action and Solidarity to form a minority government with confidence-and-supply from Our Party (to avoid the backlash of an official coalition). But even so...I am very skeptical.

and majority for action and solidarity is possible?

Also what needs to happen for Moldova to reunite with Romania

[Flyersfan232]

The President has nominated the same candidate for the Prime Minister position and PSRM has sued this decision, arguing that it is illegal for the proposal of the majority to be ignored (and it probably is). The Court will probably rule on this in the following days.

So is a election happening or not?

Yay!

That a majority? Also what’s with the id social democrats?

After her decree got struck down, President Sandu announced that she will not willingly nominate another PM candidate and if the Parliament has a problem with it they should just impeach her. This is probably going back to the Court lol

reunited with romania problem solved.

So, after its leader George Simion was stopped at the border from entering Moldova, the Romanian AUR has decided in a publicity stunt to also run in Moldova. They are running on a committedly pro-unionist platform and are supported by the once-governing Liberal Party, which is now only a shadow of its former self. However, they have not achieved the unification of all unionist forces around them, with some parties, most importantly PUN, still running on their own. Some claim that AUR, which is a party with connections in Russia, is running with the only goal of taking votes away from Action&Solidarity, thus helping Dodon win. However, the latest iData poll gives them a pretty good score -

Action and Solidarity - 39.1%
Socialists and Communists - 33.4%
Sor Party - 10.1%

Renato Usatii Alliance (still basically Our Party) - 4.9%
Alliance for the Unity of Romanians - 4.8%
Dignity and Truth - 3.5%

With the election coming in a month, I will soon write some profiles on the biggest parties running.

Nice result of AUR, I am kinda surprised.

Agreed! This is still only one poll and I would wish to wait for some more before jumping to conclusions, but they are polling better than Dignity&Truth, the Democratic Party and so many other well-established parties, at least in this poll. This shows that the growth potential is there, but will they be able to hold this momentum into July is the question.

How much of the election vote should be the The aboard vote

Today, the Moldovan Parliament has elected its Speaker - PAS leader Igor Grosu will serve in that capacity for the next four years. It is somewhat surprising that the leader of the party who won the election will not be Prime Minister, but it would seem as if President Sandu wanted her long-time protege Natalia Gavrilita, who used to be her Chief of Staff during her tenure as Minister, to lead the Government. Regardless, neither Grosu nor Gavrilita have any political popularity and are clearly stand-ins for Sandu. Whether or not PAS will manage to stop being a party solely dragged along by its de facto leader is an open question that needs to be answered during its government.

Wasn’t there a law preventing the president party from holding the prime minister spot?
