Moldovan authorities are preparing for multiple scenarios of disruption, including street violence, large-scale power outages, mass bomb threats, and cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, in anticipation of parliamentary elections scheduled for tomorrow, September 28th, 2025. These preparations are being made based on governmental sources. The potential threats identified by authorities encompass attacks targeting airport operations, payment systems, and communication networks. The heightened alert is a precautionary measure to ensure the stability and security of the electoral process. In parallel developments, energy prices in Germany have remained stable and are lower than pre-2022 levels, according to recent reports. This contrasts with Russia, where domestic energy prices have reportedly increased by 10-15% annually since 2022, attributed to Russia's decision to cut gas supplies to Europe, thereby eliminating Gazprom's ability to cross-subsidize domestic consumers. While the specific motivations behind potential disruptions in Moldova are not detailed, the preparedness measures highlight concerns about external interference or internal destabilization efforts surrounding the upcoming elections. The government's proactive stance aims to mitigate the impact of any such events.
