The Romanian Christian Democratic Youth’s Road To The European Parliament

Since this year, Romania has joined the European Union. As a result, a series of persons who represent either political parties, non-profit organizations or the civil society will become members of the European structures.

After seventeen years of hard efforts and straight-up development, our European dream became true and so, Romanian citizens can travel free in the other countries members of the European Union.

One of the most important tests that Romania has to pass in her way to the European structures are the elections for the European Parliament. Sadly, we started this test on the wrong foot because of the conflict between President Traian Basescu and Prime-Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu, who, by an emergency decision delayed the elections for this year’s fall.

This decision has been well received by most political parties and especially the ones who represented the power because, in this way, they will have more time to prepare for the elections.

NPCDP was one of the political parties who wished that the elections take place in term, more precisely, on the 13th of May 2007.

Our party is prepared to stand in a political campaign and is represented by the best candidates. NPCDP has gathered 320.000 sustaining signatures to be able to enter the elections. The minimum limit was 200.000.
Our main candidates for the European Parliament are Alexandru Herlea, former Minister of European Integration, Radu Munteanu – Vice-Chairman of the NPCDP in charge with foreign contacts, Congressman Aurelian Pavelescu, Chairman, Marian Milut and the Chairman of the Youth Organization of the NPCDP, Victor Ionescu. He is also in a training session in the Council of Europe.
Victor Ionescu is the youngest candidate of all political parties in Romania. He is only 26 years old, but the political experience that he accomplished during the years is a strong warrant for his person and for the political career that opens up ahead of him.
