The Dignity and Truth Platform Party (Romanian: Partidul Politic „Platforma Demnitate și Adevăr”, PPDA), stylized as Platforma DAorYES Platform, is a centre-right,[1] liberal political party in Moldova promoting pro-Europeanism and anti-corruption.[2]
Established as the Force of the People Party in December 2015 during the 2015–2016 protests in Moldova and founded by lawyer and former prosecutor Andrei Năstase, the party calls for far-reaching change in the political establishment. The party became an observer member of the European People's Party (EPP) in 2017.[3]
On 24 February 2015, an initial group that consisted of 14 people, including journalists, analysts, and social activists, announced the creation of a movement they called the Dignity and Truth Platform. The stated purpose of this movement was to serve as a government watchdog. The Platform has organized meetings in which people have expressed their dissatisfaction with the government. Almost one year after the protests, the leaders of the Platform decided to create a new political party.
The party leadership has expressed opposition to what they characterized as the "oligarchic mafia government" of Vladimir Plahotniuc. They support early elections to form a pro-European Union reformist government and hold a centre-right standpoint against corruption in Moldova.[4]
