Additional information:
Parliamentary candidate Nicolae Pascaru has threatened RISE Moldova with SLAPP lawsuits, sending a preliminary request in which he claims that a poll published by RISE would cause him to receive fewer votes. He further asserts that he will seek “compensation for the material damage” allegedly resulting from a reduction in the number of deputy mandates and, consequently, the public funds allocated to his party. RISE Moldova firmly rejects these acts of intimidation and reiterates its commitment to providing accurate, responsible information in the public interest.
