Democratic Party convened today at the eighth congress of the party. Vice president of the party, speaker of the Parliament, Andrian Candu, said in his speech that PDM was the team that demonstrated that it is able to generate bold reforms, and therefore, it is needed for the party to set bigger goals.

"The Congress Party is a very opportune moment to take a radiography of the party and political objectives that we have set. We went through a period of crisis during which we have demonstrated that we can work. People from PDM are most valuable. In this short period, we have demonstrated that we have the ability to do more things that had to be made for our country. We have begun important reforms for our country. PDM is the guarantor of reforms. These results are visible and can not be appealed.

I firmly believe that the further PDM mission is to protect the interests of Moldova. Parties and politicians have reached the low level of credibility. Since 2016 we began to work to show that we are different from what it exists. It is possible for a party to generate bold reforms. Here today we must propose great goals. If we work as before, they will be our successes.

All parties want to come to power. And fewer are parties that have own vision to change the country. PDM is the party that has not only an impressive past but also a promising future in Moldovan politics. Today begins a new stage for our party. We will make from PDM  a great party which will be the guarantor of state modernization. I am optimistic and believe in our party's chance. Sincere appreciation for those who work in different areas in different parts of the country" said Andrian Candu.
