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, pro-Moldovan-Romanian Unionism and pro-European, generally comprising conservative liberals.
- On the other hand, a pro-Russian, Pro-Usatîi, Communist latently Eurosceptic, often anti-American and strongly anti-liberal group of parties.
These two political camps can be further detailed in the following table:
