The Romanian Ecologist Party (Romanian: Partidul Ecologist Român, PER) is a formerly ecologist and currently mostly conservative and green conservative political party in Romania. Without parliamentary representation, it is one of the microparties still active in the country with some representatives elected in the local administration (i.e. a few mayors and county councillors and 210 local councillors), especially in Râmnicu Vâlcea and Vâlcea County, where it is ranked third behing the National Liberal Party (PNL) and the Social Democratic Party (PSD), Romania's two largest parties. Previously, it collaborated with the Green Party (PV) in the 2008 legislative elections.
History
The party was founded by Adrian Manolache, an engineer, in January 1990 as a political organisation opposed to the National Salvation Front (FSN). Adrian Manolache launched the program and the platform of the PER on 5 January 1990 in the newspaper Libertatea, being one of the newly founded parties in Romania and the second post-1989 registered one after the Christian Democratic National Peasants' Party (PNȚ-CD).[citation needed]
This party opposed the politics of the FSN from a very early stage and entered in an alliance with Radu Câmpeanu's National Liberal Party (PNL) in April, 1990, also supporting the Timișoara Proclamation (Romanian: Proclamația de la Timișoara) which demanded that the former structures and members of the Romanian Communist Party should not get involved again in post-revolutionary politics.[citation needed]
The PER participated in the Romanian legislative election held in May 1990, winning one senator seat as well as eight deputy seats. The first president of the party was Adrian Manolache, but the first party congress which was held in April 1990 elected Otto Weber as president until 2001, when he was followed by Cornel Protopopescu until 2007, the latter being subsequently replaced by Dănuț Pop.[citation needed]
Notable members
- Viorica Edelhauser, former deputy (between 1990 and 1992);
- Cornel Protopopescu, former deputy (between 1990 and 2000);
- Otto Ernest Weber, second president of the party;
- Gheorghe Toma, former mayor of the city of Suceava, Suceava County, Bukovina.
