Take or Tache Ionescu was a Romanian politician, journalist, lawyer and diplomat who started his career as a member of the National Liberal Party before joining the Conservative Party in 1891. As a social conservative, he supported progressive and nationalist policies and promoted Balkan alliances while calling for the incorporation of Transylvania, Banat, and Bukovina into Romania. Representing his own faction within the Conservative Party, he clashed with its leadership in 1907-1908 and went on to create and lead his own Conservative-Democratic Party.
