Romania's far-right AUR party has signed a cooperation and consultation agreement with national trade union confederations regarding the unified wage law, according to reports from G4Media.
The deal comes as the political standoff over the confirmation of designated Prime Minister Adrian Veștea's cabinet intensifies, with AUR's support remaining critical for the government's survival in parliament.
The agreement signals a strategic pivot for AUR, which has previously faced internal fractures over whether to back the new administration.
By aligning with labor representatives on wage legislation, the party appears to be consolidating its negotiating position ahead of the crucial parliamentary vote.
This move could complicate the delicate coalition arithmetic, as trade union backing often carries significant weight in Romanian political negotiations.
The development follows weeks of uncertainty, including AUR leadership's rejection of the mandate to support Veștea and threats of withdrawal by senior party figures.
