National Peasants' Party

The National Peasants' Party was a political party in Romania, formed in 1926 by the fusion of the National Romanian Party[?] from Transylvania and the Peasants' Party. It was in power with some interruptions between 1928 and 1933. A moderately conservative party, it was staunchly pro-Monarchy.

Many thousands of party members were imprisoned when the party was banned by the Communists in 1947, and both the party leader Iuliu Maniu[?] and his deputy Ion Mihalache[?] died in jail. In December 1989, the party became the first to register after the fall of Nicolae Ceausescu in December 1989.

It changed its name to National Peasant Christian Democratic Party (PNTCD).
