I think that if the AUR party in Moldova is just an extension of the AUR party in Romania, then the political program of the Romanian party should be valid, at least in part, for the twin party in Moldova. However, legally speaking, the AUR party in the Republic of Moldova is a separate one, founded in December 2013 under the name of the Romanian People's Party. In March 2021, following an online congress, it changed its name to the current one, as did the leadership. De facto, it is run from Bucharest.
The article is very well written and documented. Congratulations, David!
Thanks very much! Yes, AUR is a little hard to pick apart. Partly because they are so new as a political force here and they are a party but operating as a quasi-block with so many other parties joined into them. I think that they are essentially a single issue group so little time was spent on the rest of the program. That said, for the 1/2 page they put out, there is a lot of substance there in terms of ideas. So I don't understand the logic of having a very limited set of policies but having spent a fair amount of time making them clear and substantive. It's an odd one to be sure .
