New Local Initiative Groups

All through March, Diana Uriciuc, the general secretary of URR attended many meetings with the Initiative Groups and URR sympathizers of Sibiu, Alba Iulia and Arad aiming to continue the URR territorial development process.

The URR participation to the sustaining of the active members of the present CNSAS campaign

The Union for the Reconstruction of Romania - URR was the first party to answer to the initiative launched by the Catavencu Academy editorial staff, the Press Monitorising Agency and the BNS to protest towards the PSD and the PRM intention of changing the National Council College for Studying the Security Archives (CNSAS), intention that later on issued an illegal decision. URR had a numerous number of participants to the manifestation through which the civil society the syndicates and the opposition tried to form a human chain around the Parliament in order to exercise a symbolic pressure to the (illegal, of course) Parliamentarian sub-committee that was in charged with the CNSAS situation. On the URR placard one can see written slogans as: "CNSAS - The National Council for Laundering Security Agents?" and "The Common-Sense Conspiracy".

The URR attending the supporting campaign for the CNSAS College started from the principle that everyone must answer for one's doings, including those that made politics in the communist Romania; and because those that blocked the CNSAS activity stated by law were benefiting from the PSD support the PSD and PRM parliamentarians' action was twice as illegal. One can find more details on the CNSAS campaign at: http://www.urr.ro/ro/actiune/campanii/2003.03/cnsas.shtml.
