🇲🇩🗳🟦⬜️🟥 Currently, the title of Governor (Bashkan) of Gagauzia is disputed between a number of Russophilic and Turkophillic candidates.

Out of the 8 candidates for the position of Governor, two have the backing of two pro-Russian political parties, The Socialist Party (PSRM) and The Shor Party, one has the backing of current governor, Irina Vlah.

Despite this, Moldovan president, Maia Sandu, said that "all the candidates are agents of the Russian Federation".

Until 2 PM local hours, under 25% of the eligible voters, around 23k people, have cast their vote.

🇲🇩— No coverage of the Gagauzia elections on the two biggest televisions, Jurnal TV & TV8.

🇲🇩— Final turnout announced by Gagauzian authorities: 57.8%, 57,019 voters

🇲🇩🗳🟦⬜️🟥 There is no secret that the pro-Western government in Chisinau and PAS as a whole do not get along with the conservative and Russian oriented Găgăuzia.

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Deutsche Welle and a slew of other Western medias have accused a number of Gagauzian politicians of Russian ties albeit not citing their evidence to confirm their claims in some cases.

The Gagauzian governor is an ex-officio member of the Moldovan Government. His role is very limited in scope as the autonomy of Găgăuzia was never defined properly and integrated into the Moldovan legislation. There is a lot of ambiguity regarding the legality of the existence of Găgăuzia as a whole, tying back to 1994 when the president at the time, Mircea Snegur, gave into the demands of the Gagauzians to prevent another rebellion which would've likely given a new pretext for the Russian troops stationed in Transnistria to attack Moldova again after winning the Transnistrian War.

The autonomy won by the Gagauzians was always meant to be temporary as Chisinau, under pro-Western governments, sought to reintegrate the region into Moldova proper while pro-Russian government impeded such processes in order to keep the autonomy of the region alive as to cause instability when necessary.

Tl;dr about Paraguayan elections:
— Colorados = Pro-Taiwan & tied with Brazilian Conservatives, somewhat leaning to Russia
— Liberals = Pro-China & tied with Brazilian/South American Left, openly backed by US State Department
— National Crusade Party = Paraguayan Far-Right/Ultranationalist & Anti-Brazilian
