Romanian National Party (1998-2000)

Last updated

Romanian National Party (PNR) was a political party in Romania.

In the spring of 1998, the Democratic Agrarian Party of Romania (PDAR) absorbed the New Romania Party and the Christian Liberal Party, forming a new party that adopted the name Romanian National Party (PNR). This move angered the Christian Democratic National Peasants' Party (PNȚCD), which, through Ion Rațiu, challenged the name in court. Ultimately, the court ruled in favor of the new party. [1]

The main architect of these moves was Virgil Măgureanu, former head of the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI), who was later elected as Secretary General of the PNR. [1]

At that time, the president of the National Alliance Party was Virgil Măgureanu [2] [3] [4]
