The National Initiative Party (Romanian: Partidul Inițiativa Națională, PIN)[1] was a small social democratic[1] Romanian political party. It emerged after three Democratic Party (PD) MCDs were expelled form the party a few days after the Justice and Truth Alliance (DA) narrowly won the 2004 legislative election. The three members are: Cosmin Gușă, Lavinia Șandru, and Aurelian Pavelescu. In 2011, the party changed its name to the National Initiative Party - Ecologist (Romanian: Partidul Inițiativa Națională - Ecologist, Eco-PIN) in order to highlight the party's ideology.[6] The party merged into UNPR in December 2011.[7]
Its founding members were political analyst (Cosmin Gușă), member of UNPR (Lavinia Șandru), and had a dispute over the PNȚCD leadership (currently still held by Aurelian Pavelescu).
