 Pârvulescu was deputy editor of the monthly "Sfera Politicii" between 1994 and 1997.His early career was centered on denouncing the negative consequences of the single-party communist regime that was present in Romania between 1948 and 1989, as well as of having major former second-rank Romanian Communist Party members continue holding important governmental posts (after the Communist era, the Romanian political party system was dominated by the National Salvation Front, perceived as a neo-communist party with a small faction of democrats and reformists).Seen as a reformist and a leader in democratic thought, Pârvulescu was, in the early 1990s, more and more often invited as a guest on political talk shows.
