The Political Migration with the Romanians 1919-1947, I

Summary/Abstract: In the context of the latest moves at the level of the Romanian political parties, in particular the marked mobility of Opposition MPs towards the ruling majority, the author approaches this political migration in a historical perspective, resorting to archive documents and relevant articles from the time’s press to support his approach. With several illustrative examples of treason or desertion motivated by the temptation of power, the author notes that party switching existed also in the interwar period and in the wake of World War II. Political migration stood and stands, in fact, for a way of cheating and altering the election returns, the result often being an illegitimate majority issued from a distortion of the democratic mechanisms.
