Activism and protests
2012 Romanian protests
In January 2012, Crăciun was one of the people involved in the 2012 Romanian protests. When Remus Cernea began his collaboration with the Social-Democrats by participating to a demonstration organized by them, Crăciun resigned from the party, accusing Cernea of "the immorality of pretending to represent the protesters" and claiming that he was trying the politicization of the protests. Crăciun argued that he wanted to "reinvent the citizen" before "reinventing the politician".[4]
2013 protests against the Roșia Montană Project
Crăciun was involved during the months-long 2013 protests as well, his level of involvement making the press to claim he was one of the "informal leaders" of the movement.[5]
In 2014 Craciun was one of the civic activists asking for a complete reform of the electoral system in Romania. In 2015 he was also active in the protests against illegal logging in Romania.
Creation of the Democracy and Solidarity Party
Crăciun is the Secretary-General of the Democracy and Solidarity Party (Demos), which was started in 2015 as a platform and was made a political party on 15 September 2016. Demos was officially registered as one on 1 September 2018.[2][3]
