As a political force, ACUM has gained recognition both domestically and internationally as a viable alternative to the traditional parties that have dominated Moldovan politics for years. Its members advocate for a new kind of politics that prioritizes the well-being of the people and the country's future, fueled by a strong commitment to democratic values and good governance.
