According to the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova, the mandate of Parliament members is free, and the imperative mandate is void. Parliamentary Practice and enhanced voting of the decisions by the parliamentary factions, established based on political criteria and the adherence to the party, shows defiance of constitutional rule, and places the status of a Parliament Member to an inferior position compared to the one of a party member. Thus, the free manĀ date principle turns itself into a fiction, while the imperative mandate becomes a reality.
