The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (Romanian: Alianța Liberalilor și Democraților, ALDE) is a political party in Romania.

History

The party was founded on 19 June 2015 from a merger of the Liberal Reformist Party (PLR) and Conservative Party (PC). On 19 November 2015 the party was admitted into the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe.

In the 2016 legislative election on 11 December 2016, ALDE received 5.6% of the vote and 20 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, and 6.0% of the vote and 6 seats in the Senate.

On 19 December 2016, party co-presidents Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu and Daniel Constantin signed an accord with Social Democratic Party (PSD) leader Liviu Dragnea to form a new coalition government with ALDE as the junior partner.
