Member of Parliament Catalin Drula announced his resignation as head of the opposition Save Romania (USR) association in Romania on Monday, after the party he leads – as part of the United Right Association (ADU) – achieved less than the expected result in the European Parliament and municipal elections on Sunday. .
The MTI movement reminds us that five years ago, in 2019, the USSR, which defined itself as a center-right party – in alliance with the centrist PLUS party previously founded by former Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos – obtained 20 percent of the votes in the European Parliament elections . Romania's 32 representatives in the European Parliament could send 8 of them to Brussels to join the “Let's Renew Europe” faction.
According to the voter opinion poll, published on Sunday evening, the African Union may obtain about 11 percent of the votes, which may mean 4 representative states for the European Parliament.

The Soviet Union must overcome this failure, said Catalin Drula. This year there will be two more elections (parliamentary and presidential elections) in Romania, and it needs leadership that can restore hope for “modernization of the country” and political reform. Belief in the possibility of defeating the social liberal government coalition PSD-PNL. Drola will not leave immediately, because there are still some documents he has to sign regarding the elections, but he promised to hold a renewal conference as soon as possible.
According to partial results, the USSR lost the mayoralty of the 1st District of Brasov and Bucharest in the municipal elections also held on Sunday, but according to Drula, the USSR did not succeed in gaining strength in local and district municipalities either, compared to 8 percent four years ago.
Drula also appointed whomever he would like to see at the head of the Soviet Union. He believed that Dominik Fritz, who had won another term as mayor of Timisoara, could be best suited to lead the party.
