Uniunea „Salvați România” ca partid revoluționar
Save Romania Union as Revolutionary Party

Summary/Abstract: “Save Romania” Party (USR) was the party that has managed, back in 2016, to leave the field of civic initiatives and to successfully turn into apolitical movement and, finally, to structure itself as a political party. However,its civic origin was not ideologically neutral, soaring from the fertile ground of left-wing post-material civic associations which emphasize the post-modern radical ecologist and feminist values. Moving closer to the new “woke” attitudes and actions, the party lost traction, entrenched into electoral stagnation, and had difficult times in forming governing coalitions. Yet he is in line with the more radical political positions in the European Parliament and supports with no any single objection the political line of the European Commission. Therefore, USRis to be seen as a mouthpiece of the European Commission in Romania, and defending its positions. Confronted with significant resistance from the public opinion, who does not support the most radical ecologist, feminist and gender issues, USR begins to behave like a radical revolutionary party. Looking forgetting the most critical positions into government, USR struggles to implement harsh ecological measures while working for silencing critiques by using affiliated NGOs which are part of the new European narrative control architecture.
