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).

“The respect for human rights is one of the most significant advantages of a free and democratic nation in the peaceful struggle for influence, and we should use this good weapon as effectively as possible.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“While I do not think it was so intended I have always been of the opinion that this turned out to be much the best for me. I had no national experience. What I have ever been able to do has been the result of first learning how to do it. I am not gifted with intuition. I need not only hard work but experience to be ready to solve problems. The Presidents who have gone to Washington without first having held some national office have been at great disadvantage.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“I have no faith in our hypocritical, false, hysterical, uneducated and lazy intelligentsia when they suffer and complain: their oppression comes from within. I believe in individual people. I see salvation in discrete individuals, intellectuals and peasants, strewn hither and yon throughout Russia. They have the strength, although there are few of them.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“A man’s destination is his own village,
His own cooking fire, and his wife’s cooking;
To sit in front of his own door at sunset
And see his grandson, and his neighbour’s grandson
Playing in the dust together.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
