The Democratic National Salvation Front (in Romanian, Frontul Democrat al Salvării Nationale, FDSN) was a political party formed in Romania by Ion Iliescu and his supporters upon the breaking of the ruling National Salvation Front (FSN) on April 7, 1992. The smaller wing led by Petre Roman continued using the brand FSN. On July 10, 1993, the FDSN merged with the Socialist Democratic Party of Romania (PDSR), the Republican Party and Cooperative Party, creating the Party of Social Democracy in Romania (PDSR). The PDSR later evolved to the current Social Democratic Party (PSD).

“There’s no such thing as socialism pure
Except as an abstraction of the mind.
There’s only democratic socialism,
Monarchic socialism, oligarchic
The last being what they seem to have in Russia.”
