(Adnkronos) – The pro-Russian socialists in Moldova have challenged the outcome of yesterday’s vote, calling President Maia Sandu “illegitimate”. Sandu was re-elected with 55.41% of the vote against 44.51% for their candidate, Alexandr Stoianoglo. In a statement, they denounced “irregularities” and stated: “Sandu is an illegitimate president, recognized only by her supporters abroad. The Moldovan people feel betrayed and robbed.”
