National Peasant Alliance
The National Peasant Alliance is a political party in Romania which was founded in November 2019 by Radu Ghidău as an alternative to the PNȚ-CD then and currently led by Aurelian Pavelescu.
So far, it solely competed in the 2020 Romanian local elections, where it most notably scored modest results in Bucharest. The National Peasant Alliance is currently an extra-parliamentary political party given the fact that it did not compete for the previous 2020 Romanian legislative election. Nonetheless, it did compete in the 2020 Romanian local elections, the latest Romanian local elections, where it only won 12 local councillors.
History
At the point of its foundation, ANȚ was described as a modern political party by founding member Tudorel Chesoi, stating at the same time that "Pavelescu and Țapliuc don't exist".The party was established by former longtime old PNȚ-CD members who found themselves in opposition against the leadership of Pavelescu and who also expressed disdain over the alignment of PNȚ-CD towards the PSD in 2019 for that year's European Parliament election as well for the presidential election, at which Pavelescu formally supported ex-Prime Minister Viorica Dăncilă.
Subsequently, the party proceeded to competing in the 2020 Romanian local elections, in the wake of which they have gained 12 local councillor seats nationwide. Nonetheless, the ANȚ did not eventually compete for the 2020 Romanian legislative election which still took place during the COVID-19 pandemic in Romania. Therefore, it is a microparty.
