The National Peasants' Party–Alexandrescu (Romanian: Partidul Național Țărănesc–Alexandrescu, PNȚ-A) was a political party in Romania.

History

The party was established as a breakaway from the National Peasants' Party (PNȚ) and was led by Anton Alexandrescu [ro]. In May 1946, it was one of the political parties that established the Bloc of Democratic Parties (BPD), alongside the Romanian Social Democratic Party (PSDR), the National Liberal Party–Tătărescu (PNL-T), the Ploughmen's Front (FP), the Romanian Communist Party (PCR), and the National Popular Party (PNP).[1] In the fraudulent November 1946 elections, the Bloc won 347 of the 414 seats, with the PNȚ-A taking 20.[2] Subsequently, in 1948, the party merged into the Ploughmen's Front (FP).[3]
