The National Issue in the Communist Inning

Summary/Abstract: This article addresses the issue of ethnic relations in a complicated period of Romanian history onset of communism. The evolution was somewhat similar for Romania and Hungary, taking into consideration the setting up of the red power, from the alliance/independence fronts till the gradual buying up of the whole power and the increasing of the communist effectives’ force, but in a short period of time1. Even though the presence of the minorities in the party overtakes in some areas that of the population’s percentage, the subsequent events, the merging with PSDR, the tendency of PMR of keeping the ethnical balance in the representation led to the increasing of the ethnical Romanians’ weight both within the political party and at the level of decision2. But there is much suspicion, the structures are not unitary, the conflicts between the Hungarian communists and the Romanian ones are frequent.
