Biography

He was born in Târgu Mureș. He graduated from the University of Bucharest in 1995 and received his Ph.D. in 2002.

On 2 June 2025, George Simion announced Dungaciu as the new foreign relations consultant for the Alliance for the Union of Romanians political party (AUR).

Dungaciu has been a supporter of Moldovan President Maia Sandu and has accurately predicted that her party would get a good result in the early elections of 2021. Dungaciu characterised Maia Sandu as a winner and affirmed that Sandu would be capable of calling early elections.

On 2 June 2025, George Simion announced Dungaciu as the foreign relations consultant of the Alliance for the Unity of Romanians (AUR) party. The announcement came at the same time as Silvia Uscov and joined AUR.
