^ A: The largest party in the coalition, the Save Romania Union (USR), is a broadly centre to centre-right, liberal and progressive party, while the smaller parties of the Force of the Right (FD) and the People's Movement Party (PMP), lean right ideologically (see table below).

United Right Alliance (Template:Lang-ro, ADU) is a centre-right[1] electoral alliance that was formed to compete in the 2024 Romanian parliamentary election. It opposes the incumbent National Coalition for Romania (CNR) government.[2][3][4]

History

  3. State reform and anti-corruption (defend the Union against illiberal slippages right at home)
  4. Democracy, fundamental rights and rule of law
  5. Health & education for Romanians at European standards
  6. EU funds for Romania's modernisation (spent more efficiently and with greater impact)
  7. Agriculture and rural middle class (bring funding for family farms to European level)
  8. Union with Moldova in the European Union
  9. Romania's contribution to EU reform
  10. Defend the rights of Romanian workers in Europe to decent income and pensions
