Page "History of Romania" Paragraph 81

March 1992 marked the split of the FSN into two groups: the Democratic National Front ( FDSN ), led by Ion Iliescu and the Democratic Party ( PD ), led by Petre Roman.

Iliescu won the presidential elections in September 1992 by a clear margin, and his FDSN won the general elections held at the same time.

With parliamentary support from the nationalist PUNR ( National Unity Party of Romanians ), PRM ( Great Romania Party ), and the ex-communist PSM ( Socialist Workers ' Party ), a new government was formed in November 1992 under Prime Minister Nicolae Văcăroiu, an economist.

The FDSN changed its name to Party of Social Democracy in Romania ( PDSR ) in July 1993.
