The pro-European Party of Action and Solidarity, led by Maia Sandu, won Moldova's parliamentary elections, but faced a wave of Russian-backed disinformation on social media. A false claim circulated that France would pay Moldova to dispose of toxic waste from the StocaMine site. This misinformation gained traction, with a video falsely presenting an agreement between Moldova and France. French authorities confirmed there are no plans to ship waste from StocaMine, which is sealed off to prevent leakage. The disinformation campaign also involved misattributing quotes from journalists and scientists to lend credibility to the false narrative.
