Various right-wing groups, such as the nationalist Noua Dreaptă, as well as the Romanian Orthodox Church, also actively opposed the march and called for its ban.

On 20 May, twenty-two conservative NGOs, including the far right-wing Noua Dreaptă, called on the Romanian Orthodox Church to oppose the pride parade.
Several members of Noua Dreaptă were arrested, and the group was subsequently fined 3,000 lei (approximately US$1,000).
