National Salvation Front - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The National Salvation Front (in Romanian, Frontul Salvării Naţionale, FSN) was the governing body of Romania in the first weeks after the Romanian Revolution of 1989, subsequently turned into a political party. Shortly after, the two most important pre-Communist Romanian parties, the National Peasants' Party and the National Liberal Party, were registered, as PNŢCD and PNL respectively. FSN is the common root of the two most important left-wing political parties in Romania today: the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the Democratic Party (PD). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Salvation_Front   (480 words)

A short history of Romania The country is renamed Romania and an impromptu governing coalition, the Frontul Salvarii Naţionale (National Salvation Front, FSN), installs itself and proclaims the restoration of democracy and freedom. The fascist Garda de Fier (Iron Guard) movement, exploiting nationalism, fear of communism and resentment of alleged foreign and Jewish domination of the economy, is a key destabilizing factor, which leads to the creation of a royal dictatorship in 1938 under King Carol II. The Partidul Naţional-Ţărănesc (National Peasant's Party, PNŢ) rules until 1933 with the prime ministers Iuliu Maniu (1928-1930, 1930), Gheorghe G. Mironescu (1930, 1930-1931, 1932-1933), Nicolae Iorga (1931-1932) and Alexandru Vaida-Voevod (1932 and 1933). www.electionworld.org /history/romania.htm   (894 words)

RADIO FREE EUROPE/ RADIO LIBERTY The National Liberal Party (PNL) represented one of the reemerged pre-World War II "historical parties"; the Democratic Party had been created in 1992 as splinter group of the most liberal elements in the National Salvation Front (FSN), set up by Iliescu and his supporters in early 1990. Formal democratic electoral standards were respected, and although the PSD government that emerged in the wake of that ballot was a minority cabinet, in parliament it was able to rely on a safe majority due to support by the Hungarian Democratic Federation of Romania (UDMR). Examination of the rhetoric employed by the two main contenders in the parliamentary and the presidential races, as well as the procedural problems that arose during the elections and in their immediate aftermath, also shows that there is little ground to overestimate the significance of the 2004 ballot. www.rferl.org /eepreport   (7810 words)
