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),[3] is a left-wing electoral alliance in Moldova, created to participate in the 2025 parliamentary election.[4]
History
On 4 June 2025, the For Moldova Platform was formed aiming to unite the opposition parties and later received support from the Party of Socialists, the Party of Communists and Future of Moldova Party.[5] On 4 July 2025, Igor Dodon announced negotiations for a left-wing bloc.[6] Vladimir Voronin later confirmed that the bloc would include the PSRM, PCRM, Heart of Moldova Party and the Future of Moldova Party.[7] On 22 July, the leaders of the four parties announced an electoral bloc.[8] PCRM threatened to withdraw from the negotiations after demanding number 1 and 4 of the list according to some sources.[9]
A poll by IMAS in June 2025 saw a potential left-wing bloc composed of the 4 parties with 34.8% above the ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) with 30%.[10]
The bloc was registered by the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova, the Heart of Moldova Party, and the Future of Moldova Party on 3 August 2025.[11] The Party of Communists of the Republic of Moldova also requested to join the bloc,[12] and was admitted on 5 August.[13] The communists proposed renaming the alliance upon their accession.[14]
