The PER, along with all other parties extant in Romania, was dissolved by King Carol II when he established the National Renaissance Front (FRN) on March 30, 1938. Jews were banned from either joining the FRN or creating their own parties, although Tivadar Fischer obtained a reprieve for the HeHalutz organizations, which could be reestablished under new names. The regime encouraged mass emigration as an alternative, and a concrete relocation plan was suggested to Carol's ministers by Filderman. Under such pressures, EZNSz/UNET created an apolitical, regional, replacement for the PER. Called Social Zionist Council ("Consiliul Sionist Social"), it grouped together the Fischers and other former party members. It continued to exist until the Second Vienna Award, when Northern Transylvania was ceded by Romania to Hungary; it was banned in September 1940.
