The 11 July 2021 elections in Bulgaria and the Republic of Moldova

Malgorzata Kulbaczewska-Figat and Vladimir Mitev discuss the 11 July 2021 parliamentary elections in Bulgaria and the Republic of Moldova. These two countries have common characteristics: oligarchic social models, they had stolen banks in the last ten years, etc. The Moldovan voters emitted a clear pro-EU message and desire for anticorruption. The Bulgarian voters didn't provide conclusive results, just as the previous elections - on 4 April 2021. But Bulgaria is in the process of dismantling of the regime of Boyko Borissov, while Moldova already got rid of its oligarch a few years ago and now the voters want his remaining influnce to be wiped away.
