The Alliance for Romanian Unity (Romanian: Alianța pentru Unitatea Românilor, AUR) was a political alliance in Romania. It had ties to the Romanian Hearth Union.[1][2]

History

The AUR was formed as an alliance of the Republican Party (PR) and the Romanian National Unity Party (PUNR).[3] It received 2.1% of the Chamber of Deputies vote in the 1990 general elections, winning nine seats. It also received 2.2% of the Senate vote, winning two seats.[4] All seats were taken by the PUNR.[5]

The two parties contested the 1992 general elections separately; the PUNR nominated Gheorghe Funar as its presidential candidate, whilst the PR put forward Ioan Mânzatu. Funar finished third with 10.8% of the vote, whilst Mânzatu finished last of the six candidates with 3%. The PUNR won 14 Senate seats and 30 Chamber seats, whilst the PR failed to win seats in either house.
