Explaining and clarifying the bold edits I am going to boldly make to related articles. At first glance from a Western European perspective, those two nominally left-wing parties may look closer to right-wing populist parties but it appears to be that in the Moldovan political spectrum and context, which from my understanding is mainly along economic (socialist–capitalist) and nationalist (Moldova nationalism–Romanian unionism) axises, as it is one of the most socially-conservative countries in Europe), they are centre-left and left-wing parties, respectively. Syncretic politics is not a term for the left–right political spectrum, i.e. it does not appear to fit the parameter and is better discussed in prose, so we should either leave it blank or use the position in the Moldovan context. I tend for the latter, as even given refs here describe the alliance as left-wing, while clarifying what I have stated earlier and provide context. I am going to remove sources that do not discuss the alliance, i.e. are pre-2021, or sources that discuss the individual party or its leader more than our topic, the electoral alliance (SYNTH), but I am going to move them to more relevant articles — so they will not be lost.
P.S. I have proposed in the past (see here) to add parameters to the infobox to better reflect ambigous and syncretic parties, including relevant policies (pro-Europeanism, Euroscepticism, and the like) that do not fit the Ideology parameter ... but until that actually happens, we need to respect its parameter and not bloat it.
