Auction for voters, at the expense of voters: between populism, feasibility and electoral fantasies

Out of the twenty-two political parties that registered for the early elections of 11 July 2021, only five came up with detailed electoral programmes, the electoral programmes of twelve other political entities being rather brief and incomplete, usually on one or two pages, while in the case of five electoral contestants they are completely missing. Tough some parties have correctly defined the problems facing the Republic of Moldova, when it comes to solutions, they are either missing or irrelevant to the country's long-term development framework. Most parties have built their electoral offers with dry commitments, without indicating any numerical targets assumed, and the vast majority of electoral promises on the economic and social dimensions are not financially feasible.
