The
government of Moldova which emerged from coalition talks after the
2014 parliamentary election did not command a
parliamentary majority and relied on support from the
Moldovan Communist party (PCRM). The PLDM, led by former Prime Minister
Vlad Filat, conceded Leancă's departure from office to the PCRM as part of this arrangement. Leancă, who was elected on the PLDM list, resigned from the party in response and launched the PPEM to continue advocating positions, notably
Pro-Europeanism, he feels his former party has failed to uphold by entering into informal cooperation with Moldova's Communist Party. Besides Leancă, former deputy Prime Minister
Eugen Carpov and
Nicolae Juravschi are the party's other MPs. The party participated in the
2015 local election as the ''European People's Platform Electoral Bloc — Iurie Leancă'' with the
Liberal Reformist Party,
Democratic Action and
Democracy at Home Party. ==Ideology==
