The leader of the European People’s Party of Moldova said that immediately after the IMF signs the memorandum with the Republic of Moldova, our authorities must persuade the EU to unblock the financing intended for Moldova. For the purpose, an assessment is needed to see what else should be yet done.

Iurie Leanca also said that the Republic of Moldova needs a national project that would be aimed at improving the living conditions of the population. “We need a national project to improve the living standards. I had meetings with people in different communities. They complained about the living conditions and the low salaries,” he stated.
