On October 9, 2026, the Partidul Umanist Conservator Liberal (PUCL) convened at the Palace of Parliament to adopt a significant resolution. This initiative seeks to invite conservative and liberal political and civic organizations to join a common platform. The primary objective of this gathering is to unite organizations that advocate for the protection of family values, the preservation of national identity, the promotion of economic freedom, and the respect for human dignity.
The resolution was formally ratified during a meeting of the PUCL’s National Permanent Bureau, which took place in the “Nicolae Iorga” hall. Notably in attendance was MEP Claudiu Târziu, the president of the Partidul Acțiunea Conservatoare (Conservative Action Party). Târziu welcomed PUCL’s transition from a social-liberal identity to a more defined conservative-liberal one. He underscored the importance of forging stronger connections among conservative movements, emphasizing unity as a vital component for advancing common goals.
The platform outlined by PUCL includes ten core principles that its members believe should guide their collective efforts. These principles encompass robust support for a free market economy, adherence to the rule of law, and a steadfast commitment to NATO and the European Union. Furthermore, protection of family structures, promotion of national culture and traditions, respect for religious values, and support for vulnerable groups are emphasized as foundational aspects of this collaborative effort.
Additional aspects of the platform aim to address the depoliticization of public administration, ensuring freedoms and human dignity, particularly in the context of rapidly advancing technologies like artificial intelligence. The PUCL is also focused on fostering social cohesion, recognizing it as essential for a harmonious and functional society.
It is important to note that, at this stage, the resolution does not mark the announcement of an electoral alliance or merger with other parties. This cautious approach reflects an understanding of the complexities and implications of such political arrangements. The recent change in the party’s name, which was officially validated by the Bucharest Tribunal following the Congress on July 17, 2026, also signifies a new chapter in its evolution.
PUCL has expressed intentions to initiate legislative projects that are inspired by the principles established in the platform. Lawmakers from the party, along with other interested representatives, are expected to spearhead these initiatives, aiming to translate their convictions into actionable policies that benefit society as a whole.
Collectively, this resolution and platform highlight the PUCL’s commitment to carving out a space for conservative and liberal ideologies to thrive independently yet collaboratively. As they reach out to like-minded organizations, the PUCL aims to build a united front that effectively addresses pressing societal issues while championing the values central to their mission. Through this initiative, PUCL not only sets out a clear agenda but also invites others to participate actively in shaping the future of their political landscape. The coming months will likely shed more light on the responses from potential allies and the tangible outcomes stemming from this resolution.
