The AUR Alliance (Template:Lang-ro) is a Romanian right-wing nationalist political alliance, consisting of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians and other smaller parties. The alliance was founded in January 2023, and aims to participate in the 2024 Romanian elections.

History

The AUR Alliance was officially founded on 24 January 2023, the Day of the Unification of the Romanian Principalities. Initially, the alliance consisted of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) George Simion, the Republican Party of Romania (PRR) led by Marian Cucșa, and the National Peasants' Alliance (ANȚ) led by Radu Ghidău. Party leaders said their common goal was to "return Romania to where it deserves to be" and win the 2024 elections.[1][2]

On 14 November 2023, at an AUR press conference, Lidia Vadim Tudor (the daughter of the Corneliu Vadim Tudor), former Minister Ilan Laufer (FIN party leader), businessman Muhammad Murad, entrepreneurs Sorin Constantinescu and Sorin Ilieșiu, as well as deputies Florică Calotă, Daniel Forea, Dumitru Viorel Focșa and senators Ovidiu Iosif Florean, Călin Gheorghe Matieș and Vasilică Potecă announced that they are joining AUR Alliance for the 2024 elections.[3]

On 21 November 2023, George Simion announced that the Romanian Village Party and the National Rebirth Alliance would join the AUR Alliance.[4][5] On 14 December 2023, Romanian National Conservative Party (PNCR), led by MEP Cristian Terheș since 12 December 2023, and the National Unity Bloc (BUN) party led by Dorel Vulpoiu, joined the AUR Alliance.[6]

On 1 March 2024, Ilan Laufer announced that his FIN party was leaving the AUR Alliance. Laufer claimed that the George Simion's AUR Alliance and was created "to illegally transfer members of its member parties to the AUR Party, which is an attempt to eliminate sovereigntist parties from the Alliance with the clear aim of confiscating and destroying the nationalist and sovereigntist movement in Romania".[7] On 2 March 2024, the National Peasants' Alliance also announced its withdrawal from the AUR Alliance. The ANȚ leader explained the reason for leaving the alliance as "totalitarian tendencies and dictatorial leadership style" of George Simion.[8][9] The Romanian Village Party also left the AUR alliance before the 2024 local and European elections.[10][11]

In April 2024, PNCR leader MEP Cristian Terheș became the leader of the AUR Alliance list for the 2024 European Parliament election in Romania.[12]
