^ A: The party has no consistent classification on the political spectrum, as many observers also described it as left-wing, or right-wing.

The ȘOR Party (Romanian: Partidul „ȘOR” [Șor]) was a pro-Russian populist political party in Moldova. Known from its foundation in 1998 until October 2016 as the Socio-Political Movement "Equality" (Romanian: Mișcarea social-politică „Ravnopravie”), the party held Eurosceptic and Russophilic stances.

On 19 June 2023, the Șor Party was declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court of Moldova and has been banned ever since.
