The New Generation – Christian Democrat Party (Partidul Noua Generaţie - Creştin Democrat, formerly Partidul Noua Generaţie) is a nationalist, Christian democratic political party in Romania. At the last legislative elections, on 28 November 2004, the party won 2.2% of the popular vote but no seats in the Chamber of Deputies and Senate. The president of the party is Gigi Becali.
The party has been suspected of having links with the neo-fascist organization Noua Dreaptă. A former advisor of Becali, Dan Pavel, stated that "it followed that people from Noua Dreaptă would become the "spinal cord" [foundation] of the New Generation Party."[1]
Noua Dreaptă denied any connection with PNG-CD and none of the leaders of Noua Dreaptă became a representative of PNG-CD.[2]
The New Generation Party has been described by the US Department of State as an "extreme nationalist party"[3]
