Chisinau, 12 April /MOLDPRES/- Nine former Liberal Democrats have formed the Group of the European People's Party. The leader of the European People’s Party of Moldova (PPEM), Iurie Leanca, made the statement today.

It is about Valeriu Ghileţchi, Ştefan Creangă, George Mocanu, Aliona Goţa, Octavian Grama, Mihaela Spătaru, Simion Grişciuc, Eugen Carpov and Iurie Leancă. Other colleagues supporting the European integration of the country can join this group. At the same time, the platform will work closely with PPEM”, he said.
