The election pact concluded between the Union of Roumanian Jews and the Government has definitely been broken off. The Union of Roumanian Jews is disappointed by the attitude taken up by the Government with regard to its demands on Jewish rights and therefore has refused to accept the eight seats offered to its representatives in the Chamber and Senate, and has decided to retain its liberty of action in the elections.

Meanwhile, the Government is continuing negotiations with the Jewish National Party for a cartel in the elections to the Senate. The Government is offering the Jewish Party two seats in the Senate, and the Jewish Party insists on three.
