National Union PSD+PUR

The National Union PSD+PUR (Romanian: Uniunea Națională PSD+PUR) was an electoral alliance in Romania in 2004.

History

The alliance was formed between the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the Humanist Party of Romania (PUR) as a counterpart to the Justice and Truth Alliance PNL-PD, only for the 2004 legislative elections and Romanian presidential election.

The two parties - by then PSD and Conservative Party - also decided to form a political alliance for the 2008 general elections, called Alliance PSD+PC, reflecting the Humanist Party's change of name.

gollark: You don't need a Discord bridge, just make an IRC bridge then bridge IRC to Discord.

gollark: I don't really like it, it just seems really unpolished and not very good.

gollark: Run a minetest server instead, disguise it as minecraft, and hope nobody notices?
