The People's Democratic Front ((ルーマニア語、モルドバ語():Frontul Democrației Populare), FDP) was a political alliance in Romania during the communist era, dominated by the Romanian Communist Party (PCR). ==History== The alliance was created as the National Democratic Front (''Frontul Naţional Democrat'') in October 1944, and was an alliance of the PCR, the Romanian Social Democratic Party (PSDR), the Ploughmen's Front (FP) and other Communist-affiliated organisations.〔(Romania: Postwar Romania, 1944-85 )〕 In the fraudulent 1946 elections the front formed the core of the Bloc of Democratic Parties, which won 347 of the 414 seats in Parliament. The Communists seized full power in December 1947, and in early 1948 forced the Social Democrats to merge with them to form the Romanian Workers' Party (PMR). At a PMR congress held in February 1948, the National Democratic Front was converted into the FDP.〔(Romania: Elimination of Opposition Parties ) Library of Congress Country Studies〕 It quickly took on a character similar to other "national fronts" in the Soviet bloc. The member parties were completely subservient to the PMR, and had to accept the PMR's "leading role" as a condition of their continued existence. In the March 1948 elections, the Front received 93% of the vote, winning 405 of the 414 seats. This election, like the 1946 contest, was heavily rigged.〔Nohlen, D & Stöver, P (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', pp1604–1610 ISBN 978-3-8329-5609-7〕 Within the Front, the PMR and its allies won 201 seats (190 for the PMR and 11 for its affiliates)--just short of a majority in its own right.〔Cristian Preda - "Rumânii fericiţi"〕 Those elections would be the last in which opposition parties were even nominally allowed to take part during the Communist era. Soon after the elections, all parties outside the Front were banned, though Romania had effectively been a one-party state since 1947. In the elections of 1952, 1957, 1961 and 1965, voters only had the choice of approving or rejecting a single list of FDP candidates. In 1968 it was replaced by the Front of Socialist Unity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「People's Democratic Front (Romania)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
