The Right Alternative is a right-wing political party in Romania. It was founded and registered on August 9 2019.[6]

At a press conference on 1 March 2015, Monica Macovei described her party as "the only veritable right-wing party in Romania", striving for a minimal state with a small government, a small parliament and with "as few interventions in our lives as possible". She added: "We want capitalism, we want economic freedom." Former People's Movement leader Adrian Papahagi called for "creating the anti-system party" to quench their outrage.[3]

Macovei, who in the 2014 European Parliament election was elected on the ticket of the Democratic Liberal Party, on 27 October 2015 left the European People’s Party (EPP Group) to join the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR Group). Two days later she was elected a member of the ECR Group's Bureau.[7] Her new party also applied for full membership in the Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists,[5] and was admitted on 18 March 2016.[8]

On 15 November 2018, M10, together with 2 other political parties and 2 civic groups, formed the electoral alliance The Right Alternative (Alternativa Dreaptă, AD), that aims to bring together Romanian right-wing "conservative, Christian democratic and classical liberal forces".[9]

On August 9, 2019, the Bucharest Tribunal approved by civil sentence the merger between M 10 and the Force Moldova, formalising the birth of The Right Alternative.[10]

Party committees

Members of the party's National Initiative Committee are: Monica Macovei, Şerban Marinescu, Adrian Stanciu, and Adrian Papahagi.[11] The party's Integrity and Arbitration Committee has the following three members: Ioana Constantinescu, Gelu Trandafir and Brîndușa Armanca.
