2. Iuliu Maniu was a Romanian politician.
A leader of the National Party of Transylvania and Banat before
and after World War I, he served as Prime Minister of Romania for
three terms during 1928–1933, and, with Ion Mihalache, co-
founded the National Peasants' Party.
Maniu was born to an ethnic
Romanian family in Austria-Hungary (now
Badacin, Romania); his parents were Ioan
Maniu and Clara Maniu.
He finished the Calvinist College
in Zalău in 1890, and studied Law at
the Franz Joseph University, then at
the University of Budapest and that
of Vienna, being awarded the doctorate in
1896.

3. Maniu joined the Romanian
National Party of Transylvania and Banat
(PNR), became a member of its collective
leadership body in 1897, and represented
it in the Budapest Parliament on several
occasions.
He settled in Blaj, and served
as lawyer for the Greek Catholic Church (to
which he belonged). Maniu was influenced
by the activity of Simion Bărnuțiu, a
maternal uncle of his father, Ioan Maniu.
After serving as an advisor
for Archduke Franz Ferdinand, counseling
on the latter's projects to redefine
the Habsburg states along the lines of
a United States of Greater Austria, Maniu
moved towards the option of a union with
the Romanian Old Kingdom when the
Archduke was assassinated in Sarajevo in
1914

4. Iuliu Maniu was one of the brightest Romanian political figures
and, in a historical retrospective succinct, we find him since the early youth
engaged in the center of the memorandum of actions from 1892-1894,
following his predecessors' line from which he descended that of Simion
Barnutiu and Iuliu Coriolan.
Iuliu maniu entered into politics animated by the thought of
liberating Transylvania from the Austro-Hungarian occupation and its union
with Romania.
He placed above all national interests, being the artisan of the
union from 1 December 1918.
During the interwar period he faithfully represented the vital
interests of the Romanian people and fought for democracy.
The leader of the National Peasant Party has always opposed the
dictatorial tendencies of King Carol II, as well as the Antonescu
dictatorship, has advocated for the preservation of the parliamentary
democratic regime

5. A tragic destiny was reserved for the most important Transylvanian
stateman in the first half of the 20th century.
It is Iuliu Maniu, the undisputed leader of the Transylvanian
Romanians and the opposer of all forms of dictatorship.
He ended his days imprisoned in inhuman conditions in the prison in
Sighetu Marmaţiei, transformed by the Communists into the extermination
site of the elite of interwar Romania.

6. “They can not intimidate me. I do
not deviate from my way, I do not change the
decisions.”
This is one of his quotations:
