The Court of Appeal rejected the appeals filed by Igor Dodon, President of the Party of Socialists, regarding the alleged violations committed by the Moldova\u00a01 public TV channel on the day of the second round of the presidential elections. The decision<\/a> was made on November\u00a013.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On November 5, Igor Dodon, President of the Party of Socialists (PSRM), filed two appeals with the Central Electoral Commission which were subsequently redirected to the Broadcasting Council (BC), in which he requested admitting the fact that, on November 3, during the second round of the presidential elections, the Moldova 1 public TV channel had aired two interviews in which electoral canvassing had allegedly been taking place. These are the interviews with Egor Bortnik, the Bi-2 band member, and the Latvian singer Laima Vaikule. Because the two musicians had spoken about the advantages of joining the European Union, the PSRM believed that they had been campaigning in favor of candidate Maia Sandu, \u201cwhich gave her considerable advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n

In its decision on November\u00a08, the BC rejected Igor Dodon\u2019s appeals, stating that \u201cno candidate\u2019s name was mentioned in those programs.\u201d In addition, after analyzing Maia Sandu\u2019s and Alexandr Stoianoglo\u2019s electoral programs, the broadcasting authority announced that both candidates supported the European integration of the Republic of Moldova. \u201cTherefore, the appellant\u2019s argument stating it was promoting a particular candidate cannot be confirmed,\u201d the Council concluded.<\/p>\n

Dissatisfied with the BC\u2019s decision, on November\u00a011, Igor Dodon addressed the court. In their decision, the judges of the Court of Appeal stated that, in order to confirm \u201celectoral canvassing, it is mandatory to reveal the purpose of determining voters to vote for a particular candidate, yet it is missing in the programs indicated by the plaintiff.\u201d According to the magistrates, the aired interviews \u201care of a general nature, and their content does not include any appeals, statements, or actions aimed at spreading information which could persuade voters to vote for a particular election candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n

In its response to the BC, Teleradio-Moldova recalls that, during the electoral debates of October\u00a029,\u00a02024, Alexandr Stoianoglo offered Maia Sandu to sign a joint declaration \u201cto guarantee irreversibility of the European integration course of the Republic of Moldova.\u201d For this reason, Moldova 1 considers that \u201cpromoting European integration as a desirable goal did not favor or disfavor any election candidate in the second round of the presidential elections.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
