LDPM renounced its popular doctrine in favor of conservative
The Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova has renounced the popular doctrine in favor of the conservative doctrine so as to avoid a mix-up with the Iurie Rosca’s Christian Democratic Popular Party (CDPP).
Last Saturday, the 3rd LDPM congress voted unanimously with 1,612 votes for changing the party ideology and for fixing this in the LDPM Charter and Program.
Chairman Vlad Filat said, “From the very beginning, the Liberal Democratic Party stated its being a party based on the popular doctrine, fully aware that the conservative doctrine is a integral part of the popular doctrine. This step is not changing anything in our activities, principles or values. We are introducing the conservative doctrine into the LDPM Program in order to provide extra clarity for our members and foreign partners”.
The Liberal Democratic Party emerged on the Moldovan political stage in December 2007, and, according to its leaders, it nowadays has 20 thousand members. The LDPM applied for the status of an observer to the largest party in Europe – to the European People's Party. However, there was already one local force that had joined the EPP yet in 2005 – the Christian Democratic Popular Party. When the emerging LDPM announced it political doctrine, CDPP leader Iurie Rosca voiced indignation over the new party’s doctrinal choice. He then named the Liberal Democrats “a monkey-like organization capable only of giving an imitation of the Christian Democratic Popular Party”.
