Patriotic Electoral Bloc
Updated: 12/11/2025, 1:44:59 PM Wikipedia source
The Patriotic Electoral Bloc (Romanian: Blocul Electoral Patriotic, BEP), officially the Patriotic Electoral Bloc of Socialists, Communists, the Heart and Future of Moldova (Romanian: Blocul Electoral Patriotic al Socialiștilor, Comuniștilor, Inima și Viitorul Moldovei), was a pro-Russian left-wing electoral alliance in Moldova, created to participate in the 2025 parliamentary election. The bloc was composed of four parties: The Party of Communists of the Republic of Moldova (PCRM; led by Vladimir Voronin), the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova (PSRM; led by Igor Dodon), the Future of Moldova Party (PVM; led by Vasile Tarlev) and the Heart of Moldova Party (PRIM; led by Irina Vlah). The latter was barred from participating in the election over accusations of illegal financing and excluded from the bloc's list of candidates two days before the election took place. The bloc was disbanded on 22 October 2025, after the two largest member parties (PSRM and PCRM) had left to form separate parliamentary factions.
