The 2020–2024 legislature of the Romanian Parliament is the current legislature of the Parliament of Romania, elected on 6 December 2020. In the said election, no party won an outright majority, but the Social Democratic Party (PSD) remained the largest political force in the parliament, in opposition however. [1] The National Liberal Party (PNL), the Save Romania Union (USR), and the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR/RMDSZ) formed a coalition government. [2] The USR ran within a political alliance it established with a smaller party, more specifically the Freedom, Unity and Solidarity Party (PLUS), which was eventually absorbed by the former. [3] The Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) entered parliament starting this legislature with an unexpected high score, gaining more popularity ever since. [1]
The PNL-USR-PLUS-UDMR/RMDSZ coalition was dissolved in early September 2021 following dispute over the so-called Anghel Saligny program and subsequent ousting of Justice Minister Stelian Ion (USR) by Prime Minister Florin Cîțu (PNL). This led to a months-long political crisis until the National Coalition for Romania (consisting of PSD, PNL, and UDMR/RMDSZ) was formed in late November 2021, forming the incumbent Ciucă Cabinet. [4] The crisis also led to a PNL splinter, more specifically the Force of the Right (FD). [5]
The President of the Chamber of Deputies for this legislature was initially Ludovic Orban ( PNL) from December 2020 until his resignation in October 2021. [6] Since 23 November 2021, the office had been held by Marcel Ciolacu ( PSD). [7]
Between Orban's and Ciolacu's terms, there were two acting Chamber presidents: Florin Roman [8] and Sorin Grindeanu. [9]
