Sandu's message to the diaspora following the hoax bomb threat: "Thieves fear you. Do not be afraid. Keep voting."
The candidate from the Action and Solidarity Party for the presidency delivered an important message to the diaspora after several polling stations abroad were subjected to hoax bomb threats. Maia Sandu encourages Moldovans to vote with courage, stating in a video posted on social media, "Thieves are afraid of you."
"Dear Moldovans in the diaspora, thank you for your remarkable mobilization! You are a formidable force! The thieves fear you, which is why they orchestrated hoax bomb alerts at several polling stations. Do not be intimidated. Continue to cast your votes. Every honest vote contributes to saving Moldova!"
It’s noteworthy that at least four polling stations overseas were targeted by these hoax bomb threats. In response, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that the hoax bomb threats were intended solely to disrupt the voting process.
To date, over 274,000 Moldovan citizens residing abroad have participated in the elections, surpassing the number of diaspora voters registered during the 2020 elections, which set a record.
