The US Department of State 2010 Human rights report for Romania speaks of the “extreme nationalist PRM [Greater Romania Party] headed by Corneliu Vadim Tudor”, which “continued to carry statements and articles containing strong anti-Semitic attacks”. [1] Another party, also considered by the US Department of State as extreme nationalist, is the New Generation – Christian Democrat Party, led by George Becali, MEP and now Romanian MP, and owner of a famous Bucharest football Club – Steaua. In 2005, the US Department of State, in its report on International Religious Freedom informed on the fact that: “The extreme nationalist New Generation Party adopted for its electoral campaign a slogan used by the 1930s anti-Semitic Legionnaire Movement: ‘I swear to God to make Romania into a country like the holy sun in the sky.’” [2] Source:
