URR - one year after the launch

Last year, on July 10^th, URR made his public appearance by an article and an editorial in the "Evenimentul Zilei" newspaper. One year from birth, the URR president, Cosmin Alexandru synthesized with the help of a long open letter the main URR achievements and actions throughout the first year of existence. Altogether, in the letter we tried to describe our feelings, what obstacles did we overcome linked to the political demarche we have initiated, what were our expectations one year ago at the start of the road and how do we see things after this first step.

With this occasion, a great majority of the URR organizations realized campaigns for extending the URR visibility by teams of URR members, easy to recognize because of their URR T-shirts, distributing fliers. The T-shirts messages, young, with a content that urged to carrying, were unmistakable of the URR style?. "URRneste-te!" ("Come on!"), URRmeaza-ne, daca vrei sa conteze / URRgent, daca vrei sa dURReze!" ("Follow us, if you want to matter / HURRry up, if you want to last!").

On July, the 29^th, Diana Calfa, the URR general secretary met the URR sympathizers of Miercurea Ciuc. As a consequence of this meeting, in August there will be launches the Miercurea Ciuc URR local organization. For making the territorial development more efficient, there was created a team of "URRnitori" ("come on-errs") that will support Diana in this action.

In the evening they met the FIDESZ vice-president, Memeth Zsolt who is staring from 1998 the president of the External Politics Committee of the Hungarian parliament. This was the first meeting between representatives of the two parties; so this meeting meant that the first step towards the collaboration between URR and another Christian democratic party of the former communist countries was made.
