The Romanian Socialist Democratic Party (Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan: Partidul Socialist Democratic Român, PSDR) was a political party in Romania. During its short existence it was easily mistaken for Romanian Social Democratic Party.
Established by Marius Cîrciumaru in January 1990,[1] the PSDR contested the 1990 general elections, receiving around 1.1% of the vote in both the Chamber and Senate elections. Although it failed to win a seat in the Senate, the party won five seats in the Chamber.[2] The 1992 elections saw its vote share fall to 0.9%, resulting in it losing all five seats.[3]
The party was dissolved in 1993 when it merged into the Party of Social Democracy.[4]
