the latter to the convention of the former mentioned party. " The ideas in
the message of PDSR do not represent any change of the attitude of that

ideologically homogenous coalition " the communique mentions. PDSR is of
the opinion that even now, in the 12-th hour PD failed to analyze in a
critical manner its participation in a coalition whose ruling had been

offer of cooperation of the social-democratic forces of Romania, reads a
