The Pirate Party Romania (Romanian: Partidul Pirat România) is a political party in Romania based on the Swedish Pirate Party. The party is a member of the international Pirate Party movement[1] and is focused on copyright and patent reform, internet freedom, and government transparency.[2]
The first website of the Romanian Pirate Party – Partidul Pirat – was launched on 9 June 2009, and the first online meeting was held on 19 July 2009. The same year, on 6 August, members held their first live meeting, while one month later, on 7 September, the first article regarding the party was published in the Romanian online media.[3]
Party registration
[edit]In preparation for the official registration the party statute was approved by the founding members, and the first elected board was composed of Cristian Bulumac (President), Ştefan Marius Angelescu (Vice-President), Claudiu Marginean (Founding President), Ștefan Cristian Brîndușă (General Secretary) until March 2020, with a few exceptions.
On 11 February 2014 the party has submitted to the authorities the official request to be legally registered as a political party without the required signatures of 25,000 founding members.[4]
In February 2015, the Pirate Party, among others, contested the electoral law at the Constitutional Court of Romania, arguing that the law violates freedom of association,[5] the Constitutional Court heard the case of the Pirate Party leaders and admitted their contestation, overturning the section of the electoral law mandating the number of founding members.[5]
