Romanian National Peasant Party
The Romanian National Peasant Party (PNȚ) was a significant political party in Romania, founded in 1926. It emerged from the merger of the National Peasant Party and other smaller groups, advocating for the interests of the peasantry and promoting agrarian reform. The party played a crucial role in Romanian politics, especially during the interwar period, emphasizing democracy and social justice.
The PNȚ was led by notable figures such as Iuliu Maniu and Nicolae Titulescu. It faced challenges during the rise of authoritarian regimes in Romania, particularly during the Communist takeover after World War II. The party was eventually banned, but its legacy remains influential in Romanian political history.
