Democratic Front of National Salvation

The Democratic Front of National Salvation was a Romanian political party formed by former President Ion Iliescu and his supporters stemming from the National Salvation Front on 7 April 1992. It was the result of the breakup of the previously ruling FSN during the early 1990s.
The smaller wing led by Petre Roman continued using the brand FSN. Unlike the Petre Roman wing of the FSN, which wanted faster economic reforms, the FDSN advocated for a socialist democracy and a slower pace of transition from the communist command economy to a social market economy. On 10 July 1993, the FDSN merged with the Romanian Socialist Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and the Cooperative Party, creating the Party of Social Democracy in Romania. In 2001, PDSR merged with PSDR to create the present-day Social Democratic Party.
