Chisinau, Aug 4 /MOLDPRES/- Central Electoral Commission (CEC) examined at the 3 August meeting the application on the registration of the Electoral Bloc VICTORIE - ПОБЕДА for participation in the October 20, 2024 republican constitutional referendum.

According to the founding agreement, the bloc is formed by RENAȘTERE political party, the Alternative and Salvation Force of Moldova political party, ŞANSĂ political party and VICTORIE political party.
