The local elected officials of the Liberal-Democratic Party (PLDM), who came together for the third Forum of Local Elected Officials in Ungheni, adopted a resolution by which they condemn all the attempts to thwart Moldova’s European course.

We then saw clearly that our country has no other alternative than to be European by implementing profound reforms and taking very clear actions to modify the legal framework and the way the institutions work in our country,” he stated.
Prime Minister Iurie Leanca, who is the deputy chairman of the PLDM, underlined the necessity of establishing closer cooperation relations between the local elected officials and the people as the real modernization of Moldovan society must start with the local public administration.
