Moldova has voted: PAS wins with 50.15%, beating the polls despite Russian interference.
The people chose a pro-EU, reform path. Meanwhile, the pro-Russian Patriotic Bloc (24%) calls for protests. PAS must now deliver reforms & lead Moldova toward EU accession.

The party Moldova Mare which the Electoral Commission had banned from the race on Friday (for illegal Russian financing, among others) is still on the ballot papers, as judges are still examining the appeal.

#Moldova Over 1 million people have voted in the country & the diaspora. As expected, several destabilization attempts have been reported to discredit the voting process. Cyberattacks on official websites, and now bomb threats in major polling stations in the EU (Rome, Brussels, Bucharest…).

Les trains de nuit Paris-Berlin et Paris-Vienne menacés faute de subvention de l’Etat
Avec la décision du gouvernement de mettre fin aux aides financières, ces deux lignes déficitaires devraient s’arrêter d’ici à la fin de l’année 2025.
La fin des trains de nuit Paris-Berlin et Paris-Vienne, seulement deux ans après leur mise en route.
Je prenais le Paris-Vienne pour éviter de prendre l'avion pour aller ou partir de Bucarest, mais aussi simplement pour le plaisir du voyage. L'été, le train était plein.

Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean accused the fugitive oligarch of “impeding” the extradition process to avoid standing trial over the $1-billion bank fraud case. Plahotniuc has repeatedly claimed since his arrest in Greece last July that he is voluntarily seeking extradition.

The reasons remain unclear, though they may be linked to a parallel investigation in Romania, where Plahotniuc is under probe for forgery. No official reason has been given thus far. Plahotniuc's lawyer said he and his client hadn't been informed of the decision.

Replied elsewhere but please note our situation is different from Poland. Russian drones routinely cross RO territory at the Danube delta on their way to hit Izmail
The issue is as I geromanned below, that there is basically 0 roads east of Tulcea
