Iuliu Maniu-prezentare

1. Iuliu Maniu
• Iuliu Maniu (Romanian pronunciation. January 8, 1873 – February 5, 1953)
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.
• Together with such figures as Vasile Goldiș, Gheorghe Pop de Băsești,
the Romanian Orthodox cleric Miron Cristea, and Alexandru Vaida-Voevod,
he engaged in an intensive unionist campaign, leading to the Alba Iulia
gathering on December 1, 1918 (during whichRomanians demanded
separation from Austria-Hungary). On December 2, Maniu became head of
Transylvania's. Directory Council - a position equivalent to
interim governorship.
• The country moved towards an authoritarian regime formed around Carol
and prompted by the rapid growth of the fascist Iron Guard. In 1937, Maniu
agreed to sign an electoral pact with the Iron Guard's Corneliu Zelea
Codreanu, in the hope that this would block the monarch's maneuvers. The
king instead sought an agreement with other members of the political class,
including the National Liberal Ion Duca and the former PNȚ politician Armand
Călinescu, while clamping down on the Iron Guard—leading to a wave of
similar actions in reprisal.
