Formation It was founded by the
Party of Social Democracy in Romania (PDSR), and of two smaller parties, the
Romanian Social Democratic Party (PSDR) and the
Humanist Party of Romania (PUR).
2000 legislative election In the
2000 legislative election, they gained 155 of 346 seats in the
Chamber of Deputies, and 65 of 143 seats in the
Senate. In 2001, the PDSR and PSDR merged into the
Social Democratic Party (PSD).
Dissolution The two remaining parties dissolved the alliance in 2004, ahead of the
local elections, in which they competed against each other. The PUR even attacked the PSD heavily for its system of "local barons". For the
parliamentary election in November, they still managed to set up a new alliance, called
National Union PSD+PUR to counter the center-right
Justice and Truth Alliance (DA). ==Electoral history==
