The PDSU candidate, Oana Crețu, although with a party behind her, remains one of the lesser-known competitors, among the reasons being the confusion generated by the name of the formation she leads, the United Social Democratic Party (PDSU) and its logo. The formation was accused in the recent elections of “stealing” votes from the PSD, having not only the almost identical name, but also the logo, which contains three burning torches, arranged in a similar way to the roses of the PSD logo. Also, “PSD” is written in large, visible letters, and “Unit” appears below, in very small letters.

Crețu, a lawyer by profession, promotes a center-left Christian and social-democratic doctrine. She also tried to register for the 2024 presidential elections, but the Central Electoral Bureau rejected her candidacy. Her party instead managed to obtain two percent in the parliamentary elections of December 1, 2024. Later, in the presidential elections of 2025, the candidate lost the signatures due to a technical problem. Around 50,000 supporters reportedly signed with a pen that faded due to the heat, so the signatures were no longer visible, the band claimed at the time.

According to the party's official website, the PSDU states that it “militates for the respect of national sovereignty, the independence and unity of the state, the territorial integrity of Romania, the rule of law and the principles of constitutional democracy”. At the same time, he emphasizes that, “in the current political landscape of Romania, where the traditional left and right forces have annihilated each other in a manipulative and absurd coalition, created for their own interests, the PSDU stands up as an imperative necessity”.

His campaign themes seem to focus on young people, whether they are voters or not. The candidate promises a platform with jobs for young people, but also a “fuller” meal for students in Bucharest.

Angela Negrotă is running independently under the slogan “We do general cleaning together”. She describes herself as a civic activist and lawyer, but there is not much public information about her background.

He is a member of the STOP 5G Romania Coalition, which opposes the implementation of 5G technology, supporting conspiracy theories related to risks regarding 5G network satellites. On his social networks he takes a stand against ID cards with a chip.

In another Facebook post, she accuses herself of being boycotted from many quarters and directs her followers to get involved: “Defend your fundamental rights and freedoms, especially those of your children, and do not tacitly allow yourself to be turned into transhuman slaves on the digitized globalist plantation for total monitoring and control.”

His public postings also refer to children and “plandemics” or “experimental sera,” noting in one post: “Mandatory Quarantine Law” which stipulated that any person “suspected” of being contaminated with the invisible carcalac could be jumped from anywhere (from the house, from the street, from the store, from the workplace, … and hospitalized for an indefinite period with mandatory treatment and discharge only with the consent of a DSP commission (for those who escape the black bag“.

In another post, he calls for a protest in front of the CCR, on December 10, with the theme: “Enough with the fiscal mockery! Romania is not the estate of the Bolojan government, and the Romanian citizen is not the slave of the Treasury”.
