Perspective
The Democracy at Home Party was established on 31 July 2011, but it was officially registered on 2 September. It is the legal successor of the "Democracy at Home" Youth Movement (Mișcarea de Tineret "Democrația Acasă"). Its president is Vasile Costiuc.[1] It is a unionist party, supporting the unification of Moldova and Romania,[6] and adheres to a populist political doctrine.
The party participated in the 2019 Moldovan parliamentary election, obtaining the 11th place with a total of 4,463 (0.32%) votes. This represented an increase of 0.17% from the 2014 Moldovan parliamentary election, but this was not enough to exceed the minimum of 6% of the votes to enter the Parliament of Moldova. Its slogan during this election was #FărăFoști.[7]
The PPDA was part of the Union Political Movement (MPU), a political bloc established on 15 January 2020 to unite Moldova with Romania together with four other Moldovan political parties. At the time of its establishment, Costiuc declared that this was the first step towards "the constitution of a large movement, with national support" and that its aim was "to stop the expansionism of the Russian Empire".[8][9] The MPU participated in the 2020 Moldovan presidential election through its candidate Dorin Chirtoacă.[10][11][12] However, on 30 April 2021, the PPDA left the coalition composing the MPU as Costiuc considered the trajectories and objectives of both were not the same.[13]
In the 2025 Moldovan parliamentary election, the party received 5.62% of the votes and won 6 seats.[14] However, after the election, the ruling Party of Action and Solidarity filed a complaint to the Constitutional Court, asking for the invalidation of PPDA mandates, citing irregularities during the campaign, including support from the Romanian opposition politician George Simion.[15][16]
