Political party in Romania From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Communitarian Party of Romania (Romanian: Partidul Comunitar din România, PCDR) is a political party in Romania. The leader of the party is Petre Ignătencu. Though not openly communist, the party unofficially claims to be the successor of the Romanian Communist Party, often using its symbology during party actions. The party claims that the Socialist Alliance Party (now the Romanian Socialist Party), another organisation claiming the legacy of the Communist Party, is a pseudo-communist party.[3]

On 19 March 2010, the Committee for the Reorganization of the Romanian Communist Party was formed. The committee proclaimed the founding of the New Romanian Communist Party (NPCR, officially PCR). The congress of the committee elected the taxi driver Petre Ignătencu as president of the new party. In 2012, NPCR officials submitted a request to register the Communist Party. On 21 February 2013, in a press conference, the communist leaders announced that the Bucharest Tribunal rejected the request to register PCR as a political party, but they said that will not stop the process for the official recognition of the party. The party was ultimately registered in 2015 using the current name, after dropping all reference to communism from party documents.
