The New Generation Party – Christian Democratic (Partidul Noua Generaţie - Creştin Democrat, PNGCD; formerly Partidul Noua Generaţie, PNG) is a nationalist, Christian democratic political party in Romania.
Created in 2000 as a centrist grouping around former Mayor of Bucharest Viorel Lis, it was taken over in January 2004 by businessman Gigi Becali, who became its leader. It has since become more conservative and nationalist. In the 2004 legislative elections, PNG won 2.2% of the popular vote but no seats in the Chamber of Deputies and Senate.
The New Generation Party has been described by the United States Department of State as an "extreme nationalist party"[1]
