Cozmin Gușă in 2016

Cozmin Horea Gușă (born 2 July 1970, Câmpia Turzii, Cluj County) is a Romanian physicist by profession, currently a geopolitician, political consultant, journalist, and president of the Romanian Judo Federation. A member of the National Initiative Party (PIN), he was a member of the Romanian Chamber of Deputies for Bucharest from 2004 to 2008. His public positions in the editorial or political field have always been sovereignist and conservative, initially being a left-wing politician (he led the Social Democratic Party - PSD - between 2001 and 2003 as the party's secretary general).[1] Due to these positions, he has been accused of pro-Russian influence, pro-Putin, although Gușă declares that he has never met the Russian president, although he was the initiator in 2001 of a collaboration protocol between PSD and Edinstvo, Putin's party at the time. Additionally, Cozmin Gușă is the only Romanian politician who, as secretary general of the PSD, signed a collaboration protocol between a Romanian party and the Labor Party of Israel in 2002, a protocol that remains in force. Since February 2021, Cozmin Gușă has been hosting the most popular political radio talk show in Romania, called "Ce-i în Gușă, și-n căpușă" on Gold FM. [1]

Cozmin Gușă has been married to Gabriela Gușă since 1994. They have two children together: Andrei Cosmin, born in 1997, and Daria Gabriela, born in 2003. Andrei is a graduate of the Faculty of International Business in Rotterdam and has a Master's degree in Marketing from the Faculty of Economics in Vienna. He is now the owner of Gold FM radio and the Solid News news website.

Biography

He was born in Câmpia Turzii and attended the Physics faculty of Babeș-Bolyai University from 1989 to 1994. He also took classes in mass-media management in the United States (1997-1998) and a class in international economic negotiation at the École nationale d'administration (2002). He holds a 2006 doctorate in Management from the Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies, and since 2007 has been working on a doctorate in Geopolitics at the University of Bucharest. From 1994 to 1996, he headed a national press wholesaler, followed by a stint (1996-1997) as head of the editorial division at Radio Sonic in Cluj-Napoca. From 1997 to 1998, he headed the newspaper Știrea, holding a similar position from 1998 to 2001 at the Jurnalul Naţional, also working during that time at Antena 1. From 2001 to 2003, he was president of the Association for the Promotion of Young People.[2]

Gușă's political career began in 2001, when he became secretary general of the Social Democratic Party (PSD); until 2003, he was thought of as the right-hand man of then-party leader and Prime Minister Adrian Năstase. That year, he resigned from the party, citing differences in vision with members of an older generation such as Viorel Hrebenciuc, Octav Cozmâncă and Miron Mitrea. Later in 2003, he went on to found Iniţiativa 2003, a non-partisan, non-governmental organisation;[3] he remained its president until 2008.[2]

Following an agreement between his group and the Democratic Party (PD), Gușă entered the PD and served on its permanent bureau. While the situation was awkward at first, with Gușă accustomed to attack PD leader Traian Băsescu while a PSD member, Băsescu selected Gușă as his campaign director for the 2004 presidential election. A victorious Băsescu considered the architect of his win to be Gușă, who himself entered Parliament at the concurrent legislative election.[3] He remained in charge of the PD's campaigns into 2005.[2]

In early 2005,[4] Gușă was elected head of the PD group in the Chamber of Deputies, but the party leadership invalidated the vote on a technicality. Some party leaders accused him of trying to take over the leadership.[3] Soon afterwards, Gușă, together with two other deputies, resigned from the PD leadership[5] and founded the National Initiative Party (PIN); he sat as an independent for the remainder of his term. The party failed to win any seats at the 2007 European Parliament election, prompting Gușă to resign from the leadership, but he was soon re-elected party president. He ran for Mayor of Bucharest in June 2008, coming in fifth place with 5.76% of the vote. His party did not run candidates at the 2008 legislative election later that year, knowing it did not have a realistic chance of winning, and Guşă declined an invitation to run from the Cluj County PSD, preferring to focus on business. In January 2009, he announced his "temporary" withdrawal from political life,[3] with Lavinia Șandru succeeding him as head of the PIN.[6]

He also has two doctorate degrees: one in media management, from the Economic Studies Academy of Bucharest [7], and one in geopolitics, entitled 'The geopolitics of disorder in former communist states', from the University of Bucharest [8].

Gușă has been a critic of Romanian Presidents Ion Iliescu, toward whom Jurnalul Național had an "extremely virulent attitude" while Gușă was there[9] (in turn, in March 2009, Iliescu threatened to resign from the PSD if party leader Mircea Geoană took on Gușă, whom he labelled an "interloper" and a "mercenary", as an adviser[10][11]) and, once they broke with each other, of Traian Băsescu, whom he called a "hypocrite" who "mocks the Constitution" months after the split,[12] and whom he accused of wishing to dismantle the National Anticorruption Directorate once Geoană went ahead and named him an adviser on campaign strategy for Transylvania.[13][14] Gușă has himself held presidential ambitions, announcing he would run in the event the 2007 referendum to impeach Băsescu (which he backed, citing "serious constitutional violations" by the President) had succeeded. In part, he wished to block the rise of Gigi Becali, who had already declared he would run.[15]
