Civic Force

Civic Force (FC) was founded in 2004 by former Bucharest mayor, Viorel Lis (who was previously a member of the Christian Democratic National Peasants' Party or PNȚCD for short), under the name 'Christian Party' (Romanian: Partidul Creștin). In 2007, Adrian Iurașcu became the president of the party, after which the party adopted its current name. In 2009, FC ran for the European Parliament elections of that year, but failed to win any seats.

In 2012, former Prime Minister Mihai Răzvan Ungureanu was elected president. For the 2012 parliamentary elections, FC joined the Right Romania Alliance (ARD), an electoral alliance with other centre-right opposition parties, namely the Democratic Liberal Party (PDL) and the Christian Democratic National Peasants' Party (PNȚCD). Furthermore, the party also applied to become a member of the European People's Party (EPP). Through ARD's list during the legislative election held in that year, FC gained three deputy seats (more specifically Dan Cristian Popescu, Dănuț Culețu, and Cristian Roman) and a senator seat (namely party president Mihai Răzvan Ungureanu). Eventually, in July 2014, the Civic Force was absorbed by the Democratic Liberal Party (PDL).
