He has served as the President of the National Leadership Council of AUR and is known for his significant influence within the party. Recently, Târziu was suspended from his position and barred from future candidacy within AUR amid rising tensions with party leadership, particularly with Simion.

Târziu has expressed his intent to remain with AUR despite the suspension and has indicated the possibility of forming a new political group if necessary.
