The Constitutional Court of Moldova validated<\/a> on Saturday, March 9th<\/sup>, the parliamentary elections held on February 24 and the mandates of the 101 members of the future parliament. Thus, four political parties and three independent deputies will meet in the newly formed parliament.<\/p>\n

More information about the structure of the parliament of the Republic of Moldova\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s compare the new<\/a> parliament structure and some older versions of it and see how new it is in reality. According to certain opinions, new people and new factions in the parliament mean one more chance to get the things changed in Moldova. Does it work in reality?<\/p>\n

When comparing the factions that entered in the parliament, only 2 political parties that had been part of the legislative<\/a> in 2014 earned mandates in 2019 as well \u2013 the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova (PSRM) and the Democratic Party of Moldova (DPM).<\/p>\n

The Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova (LDPM), the Communist Party of the Republic of Moldova (PCRM) and the Liberal Party (LP) were replaced by the electoral bloc ACUM, the \u201c\u0218or\u201d Party and 3 independent candidates. Consequently, 36 seats in the future parliament will be occupied by new factions. Doesn\u2019t sound too bad, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

However, when digging deeper and looking at the persons that got the seats in the parliament, it can be observed that, as compared to the lists of members of the Parliament of Moldova<\/a> in 2014, those of the PSRM and the DPM in 2019 didn\u2019t change too much.<\/p>\n

Therefore, on the PSRM current lists 17 members of the 2014 parliament managed to hold their mandates, whereas the DPM has 12 members of the 2014 version of parliament on its current lists. One member of the electoral bloc ACUM, previously a LP member in the parliament, got a new seat.<\/p>\n

Moreover, when going even further to the results of the parliamentary elections in 2010, one can notice that some of the members of parliament back then, that took a break in 2014, were \u2018recycled\u2019 by the political parties and appeared again on the lists of members of the 2019 parliament.<\/p>\n

Hence, one PSRM member, one ACUM member and 3 DPM members that had been members of the Parliament of Moldova<\/a> in 2010 are back on the 2019 list of members of parliament.<\/p>\n

In total, 35 out of 101 members, that meaning more that one third of the future parliament, had previously ruled in the Moldovan legislative.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is important to mention that since 2014, some other transformation of the parliament took place. Therefore, its structure in 2019 right before the elections wasn\u2019t the same as after announcing the results of elections in 2014. Some of the politicians ‘migrated’ from one party to another (particularly, to the DPM party)<\/em>, others disappeared from the political arena (see the case of the former Prime Minister of Moldova Vladimir Filat).<\/em><\/p>\n

Is it right or is it wrong to have the same people in power again and again when things are not going better? Time will show us. However, considering the previous experience, one thing can be surely concluded: people of Moldova can\u2019t really learn from their previous mistakes.<\/p>\n
