Political parties in Moldova play a crucial role in the country's democratic process. The main parties include the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS), which promotes pro-European policies, and the Socialist Party of the Republic of Moldova (PSRM), which leans towards closer ties with Russia. In recent years, the political landscape has been dynamic, with parties often forming coalitions to achieve a majority in the Parliament. The Electoral Code allows for a multi-party system, encouraging diverse political representation and active participation in elections.
