The Front of Socialist Unity and Democracy (Romanian: Frontul Democrației și Unității Socialiste, FDUS) was a political alliance in Romania during the communist era, dominated by the Romanian Communist Party (PCR).
History
The alliance was formed in 1968 as the Front of Socialist Unity (Frontul Unității Socialiste, FUS), and brought together all legal political parties in the country,[1][2] replacing the People's Democratic Front. Like its predecessor, it was organised and directed by the PCR, and the minor parties in the front were completely subservient to it. Voters were presented with a single list of FUS/FDUS candidates in every election between 1969 and 1985; as such, the list won every seat in the Grand National Assembly in each election.[3]
