History
editEstablished on 14 January 1990,[2] the CRLR took part in the May 1990 general elections. Despite receiving only 0.13% of the vote,[3] it received one 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 been receiving a seat in every election since.
