The National Liberal Party of Romania (PNL) was re-founded in January 1990, a few days after the end of the violent 1989 Romanian Revolution. During the early 1990s, the party primarily revolved around the presidencies of Radu Câmpeanu and Mircea Ionescu-Quintus, both former members of the historical PNL and liberal youth leaders during the interwar period as well as during and shortly after World War II.
