Campanu also said the future party will have branches in counties countrywide and in capital Bucharest, as well as organizations at the level of all administrative-territorial units across the country.

According to Campanu, the future party will have a president, an executive president, a secretary general, an honorary president and eight vice-presidents for each historical region. They will make up the National Political Bureau of the future party, while the members of the Political Bureau and the heads of county organizations will make up the National Executive Committee.

Campanu did not say the names of the people to fill these positions, but stressed the party will have an interim headship and the standing leading structure of the future party will be established within a congress to be held in the second half of April.

Asked whether the members of the future party shall target ministry positions in the country's government, Campanu said the future party will put its inner organization and the fight against crisis on the front burner.

"This will not be our priority (to have more ministers in the government - e.n.). The future party will be focused on its inner organization and on measures meant to help overcome the economic crisis and improve people's living standard," Campanu said.

Contestations can be submitted within 15 days upon sending the papers to court.
