Political camps

Two major movements have developed in the recent years in Moldovan politics and they can be distinguished as follows:

  • On the one hand, a pro-Western world, pro-Moldovan–Romanian unionism, and pro-European, generally comprising conservative liberals.
  • On the other hand, a Russophilian, pro-communist or pro-Usatîi, generally Eurosceptic, and often anti-American and strongly anti-liberal group of parties.
