The party promotes nationalist policies, and is seen as the most right-wing of the major Romanian parties. It was briefly known as Greater Romania People's Party, between March and June 2005, in order to project at the time a more moderate shift in its policies and reflect a nominal change in leadership. Although he clearly remained the central figure in the party, in March 2005 Tudor briefly stepped down from the presidency of the party in favour of Corneliu Ciontu. A primary objective of the move was to attempt to align PRM with the European People's Party (EPP) bloc in the European Parliament.In June 2005, Tudor asserted that he had decided the new PRM leadership had distanced itself from the founding principles of the party, and he sacked the new leadership and reverted the party's name back to simply the "Greater Romania Party". In November 2005, Ciontu, along with a small faction of the PRM, formed their own party, the People's Party. // Nationalism is an ideology which holds that the nation, ethnicity or national identity is a fundamental unit of human social life, and makes certain cultural and political claims based upon that belief; in particular, the claim that the nation is the only legitimate basis for the state, and that each...

Politics

The party was founded in 1991 by Tudor and his literary mentor, the writer Eugen Barbu, one year after Tudor launched the "Greater Romania" (Romania Mare) weekly magazine, which remains the most important propaganda tool of the PRM. Tudor subsequently launched a companion daily newspaper called "The Tricolor" (Tricolorul). (The historical expression "Greater Romania" refers to the idea of uniting all territories inhabited by ethnic Romanians into a single country; it was briefly achieved between the two World Wars, and is now a rallying cry for Romanian nationalists. Due to internal conditions under Communism after World War II, the expression's use was forbidden in publications until 1990, after the Romanian Revolution.) 1991 (MCMXCI) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... Eugen Barbu (February 20, 1924 - September 7, 1993) was a modern Romanian novelist, playwright, journalist, and correspondent member of the Romanian Academy, a position which was vehemently criticised by those who contended that he plagiarized in his novel Incognito and for his anti-Semitic campaigns in the newspapers SăptÄ...

People on the streets of Bucharest The Romanian Revolution of 1989 was a week-long series of riots and protests in late December of 1989 that overthrew the Communist regime of Nicolae Ceauşescu. ...


Both the ideology and the main political focus of the Greater Romania Party are reflected in frequently nationalist articles written by Tudor. For example, in his magazine there is a permanent column called simply Unguri ("Hungarians"), in which he fights anti-Romanian conspiracies of the ethnic Hungarian party. The Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania (Romanian: Uniunea Democrată Maghiară din România, UDMR; Hungarian: Romániai Magyar Demokrata Szövetség, RMDSZ) is an ethnically based political party representing ethnic Hungarians in Romania. ...


In 2003, Tudor said he would no engage in discourse against Jews and Judaism or that denied the Holocaust (see Corneliu Vadim Tudor). He also said that he had become, in his own words, a "philo-Semite". In subsequent months he and some of his supporters traveled to Poland to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp; Tudor erected a statue in memory of Rabin in the city of Braşov. During this period, Tudor hired Nati Meir, a Jewish advisor, who ran and won as a PRM candidate for the Romanian Chamber of Deputies. Tudor also hired an Israeli public relations firm, Arad Communications, to run his campaign[1][2]. In 2005, Meir resigned from the PRM.

It is one of the first recorded monotheistic faiths and one of the oldest religious traditions still practiced today. ...

In December 2004, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel returned the Steaua României medal he had previously been awarded, after President Ion Iliescu had awarded Tudor and Gheorge Buzatu (a historian and PRM member) the same honor during Iliescu's last days in office. Wiesel said he was returning the honor because he could not "accept being placed on the same level" as Tudor and Buzatu[3][4].
