A fost Dimitrie Gusti (doar) tehnician în guvernul ţărănist?
“Was Dimitrie Gusti (only) Technician in the Peasantry Government?”

Summary/Abstract: This paper, aiming to clarify the Professor Gusti’s position within the government between 1932 and 1933, tries to gather necessary arguments against the belief which emerged in the fifties and still valid until present days, that Dimitrie Gusti was promoted in the government of the Peasantry Party because he was a good specialist and technician, and not because his political choice towards Peasantry Party. Besides the significant antecedents which prove the permanent and powerful connection with the elite of the Peasantry Party since the beginning of the 20s, he also had an interest in the villages. The Professor’s political behavior during governing might be described by loyalty and dedication in order to fulfill the governing programme of the party. More than that, Dimitrie Gusti, even in 1934, when the National Peasantry Party was in opposition, he claimed the accuracy of its political programme and participated in the conception of the Party’s new programme. The clarification of the professor’s position within the Peasantry Party government period is suitable especially for the analysis of his ideological position, which still arises perfectly justified debates. This analysis is legitimate not only for clearing the Professor’s position, but also for the National Peasantry Party.
