Summary/Abstract: Starting with August 1944, as the Communists became first actors of the Romanian political scenes, many members of the National Peasant Party and the Liberal Party, betrayed their cause. In what concerned the social-democrats, they worked with and, in the ean time, competed with the Communists in attracting new members especially from the historical parties. At the beginning of 1945 a faction of the National Peasant Party led by Anton changed sides and joined the National Democratic Front (FDN). The same did the liberal faction led by Gheorghe Tătărescu, who motivated its decision by the country’s need for reconstruction and for the good of the people. Regardless of their choice for joining the Communists, the members of these factions would not be spared of populating the jails of the new regime where they met their former colleagues, who remained loyal to their party’s principles.
