Our Party (Romanian: Partidul Nostru), previously known as the Republican People's Party (Partidul Popular Republican, PPR), is a left-wing and populist political party in Moldova.[11] Founded in 1999 as the Peasants' Christian Democratic Party of Moldova (Partidul Țărănesc Creștin Democrat din Moldova), it promotes advocacy for Russians in Moldova, social conservatism, and soft Euroscepticism. Its party chairman is Renato Usatîi, while other key figures include Dumitru Ciubașenco (the party's candidate at 2016 Moldovan presidential election) and Ilian Cașu (the party deputy chairman and 2015 candidate for the function of mayor of Chișinău).
Наша Партия - Partidul Nostru (Our Party) (about 44 800 members)...
This is a clear overlap between the electorates of the "Shor" party and the leftist-populist "Our Party" of another Moldovan businessman, Renato Usatii.
Renato Usatii, 41, is a Moldovan businessman and politician, chairman of left-wing populist opposition Partidul Nostru.
In addition, the anti-European, pro-Russian party Partidul Nostru (Our Party) is believed to have strong links to political figures in Moscow.
Yet, more importantly, he is a member of Our Party [Partidul Nostru], a pro-Eastern and Moldovanist party led by Renato Usatii, and their candidate for mayor of Chişinău.
At the same time, Moldova's European integration policy is seriously challenged by the rising populist pro-Russian parties, the Party of Socialists and Our Party (Partidul Nostru), which call for the AA and DCFTA to be denounced.
At the same time, the left-wing political parties – "Partidul Nostru" ("Our Party") and PSRM – continued to win to their side the electorate that used to be loyal to PCRM and DPM.
Such was the outrage that for the first time in a very long time the right (the Dignity and Truth Platform Party and others) and left (the Party of Socialists, Partidul Nostru, etc.) joined forces in protest.
The Peasants' Christian Democratic Party of Moldova was previously a tiny left-wing player but, renamed the Republican People's Party or "Our Party", it performed strongly under Usatii in the 2015 local elections.
Thus on the left wing, the position of the PCRM has been largely overtaken by two new pro-Russian parties, the PSRM and Renato Usatii (Patria and Partidul Nostru).
