The Parliamentary elections took place in a tense political context, characterized by contradictory relations between the governors and the opposition, the low level of citizens’ confidence in the state institutions, a continuous degradation of the democratic standards and, consequently, a cooling relations with developed partners of the Republic of Moldova, especially with the European Union. The environment, in which the elections were held, was also influenced by the consequences of devaluation of the banking system in 2014 and of the socio-economic and political crisis that followed. Following the stagnation of the main reforms between 2016 and 2018, the European Union stopped funding the reforms and froze the macro-financial assistance in 2018. The opinions of the international actors, regarding the Parliamentary elections from February 24, 2019, accredited by the Central Election Commission, were analyzed. Also, are analyzed the reports and statements of the institutions that have monitored and evaluated the parliamentary elections from February 24, 2019.
