Claudiu Crăciun (born 2 November 1978) is a Romanian academic, environmental and civic activist.
He led a campaign to run as a candidate at the 2019 Romanian presidential election, which collected 13,000 signatures but failed to meet the threshold required (200,000) by Romanian electoral law.
[1] He is the Secretary-General of the Democracy and Solidarity Party (Demos), founded in 2016 and registered in 2018.
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.
[5] In 2014 Craciun was one of the civic activists asking for a complete reform of the electoral system in Romania.
