The Union of Poles of Romania (Romanian: Uniunea Polonezilor din Romania, UPR), or Dom Polski, is an ethnic minority political party in Romania representing the Polish community.
History
The UPR was registered on 16 March 1990,[1] and contested the May 1990 general elections. Despite receiving only 2,372 votes (0.02%),[2] 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.
