The stages of the initial constitution of multipartism in the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

In different political systems, present in history, people organized themselves for the purpose of defending their special interests and imposing their will as dominant. In this context, political parties existed in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, as well as in Europe in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance era. But, still, only in the 19th century, when millions of people received the right to vote within liberal democracy, parties appeared as organizations specialized in the struggle for the conquest, participation and achievement of political power. It is no coincidence that the famous French researcher of the history of political parties and social movements, M. Duverger, considered that "refusing to political parties means refusing to act" and if "it was true that democracy is incompatible with them, this would mean that democracy is incompatible with the conditions of our age".
