Originally a three party alliance, Volt Romania joined soon after the coalition's founding.[2] All four parties will run on REPER's electoral lists to circumvent the raised electoral threshold for coalitions.
The parties have widely differing views on economic issues, with REPER supporting economic liberalism while Demos is a democratic socialist party. However, all four parties share progressive views on social issues and support further European integration.[3]
