  1. ^ The party does not define itself as belonging to either side of the political spectrum and its programs include both right and left-wing policies, while its philosophy mixes Moldovan identity with support for the former Soviet Union.

The Șor Party (Romanian: Partidul „ȘOR”, pronunciation: [ʃor]) is a Eurosceptic political party in Moldova.[1] From its foundation until October 2016, it was called the Socio-Political Movement "Equality" or Ravnopravie (Romanian: Mișcarea social-politică „Ravnopravie”).

History[]

The party was founded in 1998 by Moldovan politician Valery Klymenko as the "Socio-Political Movement "Equality".[5]

At the legislative election on 6 March 2005, the party won 3.8% of the popular vote, but no seats. The party intended to participate to the 2014 election but later withdrew its list.[6]

In 2015, the party decided to nominate Ilan Șor for Mayor of the town of Orhei. Șor, who was at that point in time under house arrest,[7] won a majority of the votes in the first round of the election and subsequently became the leading figure within the party.[5] In October, 2016 Șor was elected President of the party, which was renamed "Șor Party".

On 1 December 2018, the party joined the Alliance of Conservative and Reformists in Europe.[8]

In December 2018, the party created a model collective farm based on its own election program in the Orgeev region, dubbing it the "Commune of Dreams".[9][10][11]

At the legislative election of 2019, the party 8.32% of votes and elected seven MPs, entering parliament for the first time in its history.[12][13]

The party organized a Victory Day parade in Chișinău on 9 May 2019.[14]

Ideology[]

The party's ideology is based on cultural conservatism and support for establishing a welfare state. The party's 2019 program the following introduced points:[15]

  • Free universal health care.
  • Free education including higher education.
  • Increasing the size and scope of disability benefits, maternity benefits and retirement pensions.
  • The creation of modernised collective farms to work alongside the private sector.
  • Active state intervention in the spheres of infrastructure, transport, energy, communications, housing, pharmaceuticals, etc.
  • The nationalization of foreign-owned energy companies.
  • A commitment to law and order including both reinstating the death penalty for particularly dangerous criminals and addressing the underlying socioeconomic issues that may cause crime.
  • A commitment to Moldovan independence and military neutrality.

The opening paragraphs of the party's 2008 election program stated that it viewed the average person's quality of life as superior under the Soviet Union when compared to modern times. It further stated that it viewed Moldova's socio-economic problems as relating to Moldova's negative relationship with the Russian Federation.[16]
