Sociologists describe the snap parliamentary elections of July 11 as a follow-up to the presidential elections of 2020. According to them, the voters are split, on the right and on the left, and the main electoral players are the PCRM-PSRM Bloc and the PAS. The balance at the elections of this July will be inclined by the vote of the diaspora, IPN reports.
According to the director of the sociological company IMAS Doru Petruți, the political options of the voters ahead of the snap elections are very clear and the struggle, as in the case of the presidential elections, will be between Maia Sandu and Igor Dodon, but now at party level.
“We are witnessing a continuation of the presidential competition. In the Republic of Moldova, the vote against continues to dominate and this is not really healthy. However, during the past ten years, the voters in the Republic of Moldova have grown more mature and the weight of the diaspora’s vote rose to over 10%,” Doru Petruți stated in the talk show “Moldova Live” on the public TV channel Moldova 1.
Ian Lisnvschi, director of Intellect Grup, said the voting tendency of electors became clear, the voters being divided into two camps, of the left and of the right, while the political center disappeared.
“The witnessed tendency shows the citizens are tired of elections. We also see a diminution of the quality of election campaigns. That’s why society mobilizes only on the left and on the right. On the left, we have the PSRM-PCRM Bloc. Some experts consider the strategy for combining forces on the left is correct, but we will see in elections. The right was fully monopolized by the PAS,” stated Ian Lisnevschi.
According to sociologists, the vote based on emotions continues to persist in Moldova. Not many citizens vote pragmatically and this leads to the constant disappointment of voters.
