Leadership
Controversies
USR Tineret is the first youth organisation of a Romanian political party to openly support the decriminalisation of cannabis.[3] The organisation was openly critical of a bill project by USR MP Lavinia Cosma, meant to impose harsher punishments for cannabis consumption and trafficking.[4]
In November 2019, the organisation's Facebook page posted a viral meme comparing King Michael of Romania to manele singer Florin Salam in a tongue-in-cheek manner, in the context of Timișoara mayor Nicolae Robu banning the manele genre in the city's public areas. The meme was harshly criticised by Romanian conservatives and monarchists affiliated with the National Liberal Party.[5]
