Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR)

The Alliance for the Union of Roma­ni­ans (AUR) is a Roman­ian nation­al con­ser­v­a­tive polit­i­cal par­ty found­ed in 2019, rapid­ly ris­ing to promi­nence with a plat­form built on four core pil­lars: fam­i­ly, nation, Chris­t­ian faith, and lib­er­ty. Posi­tioned on the right to far-right of the polit­i­cal spec­trum, AUR pro­motes tra­di­tion­al­ist val­ues, strong­ly oppos­es same-sex mar­riage, and sup­ports the uni­fi­ca­tion of Roma­nia with Moldo­va. The par­ty exhibits skep­ti­cism toward Euro­pean Union influ­ence, has ques­tioned Romania’s sup­port for Ukraine, yet main­tains a broad­ly pro-NATO stance. AUR’s nation­al­ist and anti-estab­lish­ment rhetoric, espe­cial­ly under the lead­er­ship of George Simion, has res­onat­ed with seg­ments of the elec­torate frus­trat­ed with the main­stream polit­i­cal elite and per­ceived cul­tur­al liberalism.
