The National Initiative Party (, PIN) was a small social democratic Romanian political party. It emerged after three Democratic Party (PD) MCDs were expelled form the party a few days after the Justice and Truth Alliance (DA) narrowly won the 2004 legislative election. The three members are: Cosmin GuÃÂÃÂ, Lavinia ÃÂandru, and Aurelian Pavelescu. In 2011, the party changed its name to the National Initiative Party - Ecologist (, Eco-PIN) in order to highlight the party's ideology. The party merged into UNPR in December 2011.
Its founding members were political analyst (Cosmin GuÃÂÃÂ), member of UNPR (Lavinia ÃÂandru), and had a dispute over the PNÃÂCD leadership (currently still held by Aurelian Pavelescu).
