In this article we have tried to elucidate the expansion of the phenomenon of populism in Europe, but also the presence of populist discourse in the politics of political parties in the Republic of Moldova. The term of populism is less commonly used in the Republic of Moldova a more pejorative way than an ideology. If in the EU there is a distinction regarding right-wing populism and left-wing populism, as pro-European populists and anti-EU populists, in Moldova, we distinguish between the populist rhetoric of power and the populist rhetoric of the anti-oligarchic opposition.
