Analiza Programului de Guvernare PAS în raport cu angajamentele electorale

Asociația ADEPT a realizat studiul „De la promisiuni la guvernare”, care evaluează gradul de coerență dintre angajamentele electorale asumate de PAS în campania pentru alegerile parlamentare din 2025 și Programul de Guvernare „UE, Pace, Dezvoltare” pentru 2025–2029.

The analysis seeks to answer a central question for post-electoral democracy: to what extent are the promises made to voters reflected, translated, and operationalized in the Executive’s programmatic document. The study does not assess political intentions, but rather the degree to which electoral commitments are effectively integrated into the policies assumed by the government.

The analysis was conducted using ADEPT’s methodology for monitoring post-electoral coherence, based on a comparative and qualitative approach. Relevant electoral promises were identified, grouped by policy areas, and compared with the provisions of the Government Program. They were assessed on an integration scale from 1 to 5, where 1 indicates a vague mention or the absence of the promise, and 5 reflects full integration, with clear objectives and sufficient elements for monitoring (measures, timelines, responsibilities).

The analysis was carried out by relating electoral promises to the Government Program and was structured across five key public policy areas. The assessment focused on the degree of coherence and the level of integration of the commitments undertaken in each of these areas.

European Integration

European integration remains the dominant strategic axis in both the electoral discourse and the Government Program. The Program explicitly takes over the 2028 objective, but reformulates it as the completion of negotiations rather than the signing of the accession treaty or the attainment of EU membership. This difference marks a significant recalibration—from a final political outcome to a procedural stage. Although instruments such as the National Accession Program and alignment with the EU acquis are mentioned, intermediate milestones and an operational link between “closed negotiations” and “effective accession” are missing. Consequently, promises in this area achieve a medium level of integration, with an emphasis on direction rather than on the final outcome.

Justice

The justice sector records the highest degree of coherence between electoral promises and the Government Program. The completion of the vetting of judges and prosecutors is explicitly taken over and detailed, including the establishment of a deadline (December 2026). However, the analysis shows that some key promises—such as accelerating the adjudication of corruption cases or reforming the recovery of criminal assets—remain insufficiently operationalized, being formulated more as desired outcomes than as structured public policies. Overall, justice reflects good coherence at the declarative level, but only partial coherence at the level of implementation.

Human Rights

In the field of human rights, the picture is uneven. Some commitments are fully and in detail transposed—such as equitable access to education or the inclusion of persons with disabilities—while others are minimally integrated or absent. Notably, the promise regarding electronic or postal voting for the diaspora is entirely missing from the Government Program, despite a pilot carried out in 2025. In addition, combating gender-based violence is addressed predominantly from a public order perspective, without specialized social measures. This area reflects a selective approach, with unequal prioritization of electoral commitments.

Security and Defense

Promises in the field of security are well integrated at the strategic and conceptual level, particularly through the chapter “Diplomacy for Peace.” The Program explicitly acknowledges the link between security, European integration, and international cooperation, including in relation to the Transnistrian region. Nevertheless, the analysis finds a lack of operationalization: concrete instruments, stages, budgets, or outcome indicators are not specified. As a result, security is treated coherently as a direction, but insufficiently as an action plan.

Economic and Social Development

This area highlights the largest discrepancies between electoral promises and the Government Program. Major commitments—such as doubling incomes, fiscal stability, or access to housing—are either partially reflected or completely absent. Increases in salaries and pensions are formulated in absolute terms, without reference to inflation or purchasing power, and some objectives are conditioned by external factors (productivity, economic growth), which dilutes the binding nature of the promises. The Program maintains a general development direction but avoids assuming firm, quantifiable outcomes.
