President-elect of the Republic of Moldova, Igor Dodon, congratulated the Social Democratic Party (PSD) of Romania with the victory obtained in the parliamentary elections from December 11. In a Facebook post, he hopes that PSD will balance "rhetoric of Bucharest in relation to Moldova".

"We see that in Romania the political left also has made a remarkable electoral success. I applaud the victory of PSD and I hope that the leaders of this party will balance the rhetoric of Bucharest in relation to the Republic of Moldova. We hope that the new Government of Romania will demonstrate more respect for the independence and sovereignty of our country. And, the unionist movements will be treated as marginal and radical entities, which got lost in the democracy waters," he wrote.

Today, as well the first deputy president of PD, Vlad Plahotniuc congratulated PSD with the victory obtained in the parliamentary elections in Romania while the Moldovan Democrats and Social Democrats on the over bank of Prut have a political agreement for cooperation.

We recall that PSD won the election with a score more than double compared to PNL, according to the official website of the Central Electoral Bureau (BEC). Among the winners of the elections can be counted the Save Romania Union (USR), a new party that manages to enter Parliament with 8.55 pct in the Senate and 8.49 in the Chamber of Deputies.

A simulation based on partial results provided by the Central Electoral Bureau show that at the Chamber of Deputies, PSD would get around 132 mandates, PNL - 45 mandates, UDMR - 16 mandates, USR - 14 mandates.

In the Senate, PSD will have around 48 mandates, PNL - 10 mandates, UDMR - 4 mandates, USR - 3 mandates ALDE - a mandate.
