Moldova is currently at the centre of intense foreign interference, with external actors using information manipulation to influence public opinion, polarize voters, and challenge the legitimacy of electoral outcomes.
Coordinated campaigns leverage social media, fake outlets, AI‑generated content, and diaspora channels to steer narratives — especially during election periods and critical referenda. Civil society, media, and policymakers must act together to safeguard democratic integrity
Moldova has become a testing ground for foreign influence — not just in votes, but in what people believe before they even go to the polls
The information environment in Moldova is highly fragmented with varying levels of media literacy among the public. This makes citizens more vulnerable to sophisticated campaigns that mix accurate reporting with misleading framing.
