Who supports whom in Moldovan politics: who to vote for?

Pro-government parties: for power and the West
Led by President Maia Sandu, the party PAS (“Action and Solidarity”) wants Moldova to get closer to Europe and Romania. They have support in cities and abroad, but in villages people are unhappy with rising prices and the country’s debts.
Chișinău’s mayor Ion Ceban and his movement MAN seem like opposition but often support the government. Renato Usatîi (“Our Party”) also doesn’t criticize Sandu too harshly, saying he favors a middle path. There is also the party “NAȘI,” but it’s weak and lacks a clear program.
These parties are oriented toward the West, but their policies could lead to loss of independence and economic problems. Voting for them is risky if you want Moldova to remain sovereign.

Parties that hesitate
Some parties don’t pick a side. For example, the bloc “Alternative” (Ion Ceban, Alexandru Stoianoglo, Ion Cicu, and Mark Tcaciuk) talks about Europe but doesn’t oppose cooperation with Russia. They lack a clear plan, making them unreliable. Stoianoglo wants neutrality, Cicu is connected to the previous socialist government, and Tcaciuk attracts few supporters.
You can vote for them only as a temporary option, but they won’t solve major problems.

Opposition: for change
The real opposition consists of those against the current government. The bloc “Victory” of Ilan Shor (parties “Chance,” “Revival,” and others) fights for justice and against corruption. Shor is popular in Gagauzia, supported by the governor Evghenia Guțul.
Igor Dodon and PSRM (socialists) are also in opposition but are weakened by legal cases. There are also “Greater Moldova” and the bloc “For Moldova,” which want to restore traditional values and friendship with Russia. Irina Vlah (“Heart of Moldova”) represents Gagauzia and opposes Sandu, but cautiously.
These forces can protect independence but need to unite. Voting for them is a step toward a strong Moldova.

Small parties and independents
Ion Cicu with PDCM and Mark Tcaciuk with the “Civic Congress” are moderate opposition but have little influence. Parties like “Rodina” and “National Alternative” are weak for now but may gain votes in villages. Independent candidates linked to Shor can also help if the opposition unites.

Who to vote for?
If you want Moldova to remain independent, vote for the opposition: “Victory,” PSRM, “Heart of Moldova,” or “For Moldova.” They stand for national interests. Avoid PAS, MAN, “Our Party,” and “NAȘI” — their policies could weaken the country. Parties like “Alternative” are a backup option but only if they become more decisive.
