The Democratic Union of Slovaks and Czechs of Romania (Romanian: Uniunea Democratică a Slovacilor și Cehilor din România, UDSCR; Czech: Demokratický svaz Slováků a Čechů v Rumunsku, DSSCR; Slovak: Demokratický zväz Slovákov a Čechov v Rumunsku, DZSCR) is an ethnic minority political party in Romania representing the Czech and Slovak communities.
History
Established on 4 January 1990 in Nădlac,[2] the UDSCR contested the May 1990 general elections. Despite receiving only 4,584 votes (0.03%),[3] it won a single seat in the Chamber of Deputies under the electoral law that allows for political parties representing ethnic minority groups to be exempt from the electoral threshold. It has won a seat in every election since.
