With the The return of the prime ministership to tycoon Andrej Babis, the Czech Republic joins the disturbing Trumpist and at the same time Putinist sphere of the European Union. A Trojan horse that grows and becomes stronger. Look where, Andrej Babis comes, like the Hungarian Viktor Orbán, from the old communist nomenclature, and can understand perfectly with the Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. All three have the same origins and know that preventing or obstructing aid to Ukraine is the best way to obtain Russian gas, even if the price to pay is to weaken the EU further.

Moldova has demonstrated its democratic resilience, and now it's the European Union's turn to rise to the challenge. Sunday's legislative elections in this tiny territory, strategically located between Romania and Ukraine, gave an absolute majority to President Maya Sandu's party, a member of the Action and Solidarity party, in a vote interpreted as a ratification of the path taken toward the EU, despite documented evidence of interference, disinformation, and attempted corruption.

A very hard setback for Vladimir Putin, who He was confident that the pro-Russian blog would snatch an absolute majority from the pro-European forces in the Moldovan parliamentary elections.The overwhelming victory of President Maia Sandu's Action and Solidarity Party (PAS), with 50% of the votes and the collapse of the Patriotic Bloc, which failed to secure even 25%, pave the way for Moldovans toward the EU and shatter one of the Kremlin's last hopes of keeping the country within its sphere of influence.

An alleged Russian plot to provoke mass unrest, dozens of arrests, vote buying, and disinformation campaigns financed by Moscow. Moldova is a country the size of Catalonia and with less than 2.5 million registered inhabitants, but Vladimir Putin feels he has his hands full in the parliamentary elections held this Sunday. Russia is pressuring by all means to prevent the ruling party, which has pushed for accession to the European Union, from renewing its absolute majority and for pro-Russian forces to return this ex-Soviet republic to the Kremlin's orbit.
