Romanian Social Democratic Party (1990–2001)
The Romanian Social Democratic Party (, PSDR) was a social-democratic political party in Romania. Founded in 1990, after the fall of the Communist party rule in Romania, it claimed to be the direct successor of the Romanian Social Democratic Party (PSD) existing between 1927 and 1948, when it had merged with the Romanian Communist Party (PCR) to create the Romanian Workers' Party (PMR). Joining the Socialist International, the party entered alliances with the Democratic Party (PD; forming "Uniunea Social-Democrată" or Social Democratic Union during the 1996 legislative election), and took part in the Romanian  Democratic Convention (CDR) governments of Victor Ciorbea, Radu Vasile, and Mugur Isărescu (briefly leading the coalition government with Alexandru Athanasiu as acting/ad interim PM in 1999). The PSDR adhered to the Social Democratic Pole of Romania (PDSR), and fused into the Social Democratic Party (PSD) on 16 January 2001. A minority wing opposed to the merger survived as Partidul Social Democrat "Constantin Titel Petrescu", later reforming itself as the Social-Democratic Workers' Party, which was dissolved in 2013.
