The presidential hopeful added the new political alliance will win November's presidential ballot and the PMP and PNTCD will take part together in the 2016 local and parliamentary elections. Udrea thanked her PMP party fellows for their support of her candidacy and underscored the necessary change for Romania is that its president should be a woman. PNTCD leader Pavelescu said that 'This alliance is no accident, is not a matter of circumstances. The great issues, the great objectives of the PNTCD from the 1990s /.../ have been taken over and implemented by the two terms of President Traian Basescu'.
A protocol setting up a political alliance of the People's Movement Party (PMP) and the Christian Democratic National Peasant Party (PNTCD, a non-parliamentary party) and another protocol supporting the PMP candidate for President of Romania in this November's elections were signed by the two party leaders, Elena Udrea and Aurelian Pavelescu respectively, on Saturday.
