## Overview The Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) is Moldova’s leading pro-European political force, founded in 2016 through a grassroots initiative to counteract political polarization, media manipulation, and systemic corruption[1]. Its core mission is to foster meritocracy, professional integrity, and transparency in public life, aiming to unite Moldovan society regardless of ethnicity, language, age, or gender[1]. PAS has positioned itself as a reformist party, advocating for European integration, anti-corruption measures, and economic modernization—issues of significant interest to the business and technology sectors in Moldova and the broader region. ## History and Structure PAS emerged in response to Moldova’s entrenched political crises, seeking to break the cycle of oligarchic influence and state capture. Its organizational structure includes local, territorial, and national levels, with key governing bodies such as the Congress, National Political Council, and Standing Bureau[1]. While the party emphasizes statutory adherence and public accountability, its local networks remain underdeveloped, reflecting its relatively recent establishment[1]. PAS also maintains active youth and women’s organizations, signaling a commitment to inclusive governance[1]. ## Key Achievements PAS achieved a political breakthrough in 2020–2021, when its leader, Maia Sandu, was elected president, and the party secured a parliamentary majority in snap elections—the first time since 2009 that a single party formed a government without coalition partners[5]. This victory enabled PAS to advance a pro-EU reform agenda, including anti-corruption initiatives and efforts to attract foreign investment. The party’s expert-led cabinet, notably under Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilița, focused on stabilizing the economy and aligning Moldova with EU standards—a priority for businesses seeking predictability and market access[5]. More recently, PAS solidified its mandate in the 2025 parliamentary elections, winning over 50% of the vote and 55 out of
