The main political parties, i.e. the Romanian Communist Party, the Social Democrat Party, the Front of the Ploughmen, which from the Block of Democratic Parties, are those who have an intense canvass in this area, whereas the opposition, reprezented by the National Liberal Party, makes only timid canvassing attempts in the villages of Turdaş, Vaidei, Pricaz. The main obligation of the Gendarmery Department was to report to their superiors the entire activity of the political parties, as well as the activity of their supporters every week.
