    The Republic of Moldova is experiencing a major political crisis following legislative elections in April 2009 that forced early elections in July. This has increased tensions between Russia, who supports Moldova's communist leader, and Europe. A Moldovan native living in France notes the situation is tense as Moldovans disapprove of their government's decisions. Russia and Western countries have been arguing over Moldova's geopolitical alignment, with Russia opposed to NATO expansion eastward. The crisis could impact an upcoming partnership agreement between Moldova and Europe.
