In the extraordinary congress on December 13, the People’s Force Party was renamed the Political Party “Dignity and Truth” that will be headed by Andrei Nastase, one of the leaders of the Civic Platform “Dignity and Truth”, IPN reports.
“A political alternative to the current government was created based on the People’s Force Party, which was already registered and whose statutes and political program mainly coincide with our aspirations,” stated Andrei Nastase.
He noted that the immediate objective of the party is to implement the people’s demands voted in the Great National Assembly Square. “We support the civic initiatives to hold a referendum on the election and dismissal of the head of state by the people, on the reduction of the number of seats of MP and the removal of parliamentary immunity. We will do our best for this plebiscite to take place until the current President completes his duties so that the next head of state is elected by the people, not by those who enter Parliament, sometimes accidentally,” said Andrei Nastase.
According to him, the extraordinary congress adopted the first decisions of the re-formed party. “We took decisions about the election of all the administrative bodies, including of the National Political Council, the Censorship Commission and the Commission of Honor and Arbitration. It was decided to make amendments to some of the party’s formal rules. We set up a commission that will deal with the adjustment of the party’s statutes and program to the new realities,” the head of the Party “Dignity and Truth” told the press.
Andrei Nastase also said that the Civic Platform “Dignity and Truth” remains a civic one. “A part of the members of the Platform “Dignity and Truth” constituted this political alternative to the current government and the whole political class. We, those from the Great National Assembly Council and the Civic Platform “Dignity and Truth”, by the resolution of September 13 were mandated to build this alternative and this is the way we chose for building it. We hope we will not disappoint the voters,” he stated.
The former head of the People’s Force Party Nicolae Chirtoaca renounced the post of party leader.
