One of Moldova's main political parties. The PPCD is the successor of the Democratic Movement of Moldova (1988-1989), Popular Front of Moldova (1989-1992) and Christian Democrat Popular Front (1992-1999). It contributed decisively to the move toward independence in the wake of the policies of glasnost. It started to break up in 1990 and renamed itself the Christian Democrat Popular Front in February 1992, when it became a right-wing separate and independent political formation, in the same league with Western Europe's Christian Democrat parties. Moldova's Christian Democrat Popular Party is a member of the European Christian Democrat Union and of the Christian Democrat and People's Parties International. The FPCD asserted itself as the main force in the bloc of the Democratic Convention of Moldova, from which it withdrew in 1999 over disagreements about the representation of its members in the formation of the government headed by Prime Minister Ion Sturdza.
The PPCD advocates for Moldova’s North Atlantic Treaty Organization and European integration, gradual disentanglement from the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the shedding of ties binding Moldova's economic future to that of the Russian Federation. The party is in favor of Western countries involvement in the trans-Nistrian conflict settlement process, to counter-balance Russia. The party rallied in Chişinău against the Communist-appointed government of 2001’s decision to reintroduce the Russian language as the country’s official language and to expunge from the curricula the history of Romanians. In January 2002, the Ministry of Justice temporarily suspended the activities of the PPCD on the grounds that it had violated the law, and, also in January 2002, the Communist-led parliament decided to lift the parliamentary immunity of the PPCD’s leader Iurie Roşca and two of his deputies. One of the party’s top leaders, Vlad Cubreacov, who had actively participated in public protests against the government, was kidnapped in March 2002 and mysteriously reappeared two months later in trans-Nistria. In the 2005 parliamentary elections, the PPCD won 11 seats in parliament and agreed with other parties on a reform agenda that led to the formation of a political alliance with the right-of-center Social-Liberals (three seats) and its long-standing rivals, the Party of Moldova's Communists (56 seats). The alliance reelected Vladimir Voronin for a second term as president of Moldova.
