Summary/Abstract: We propose by this study a portrait of an important politician of the first half of theXX-th century, of a perpetual parliamentarian, considered the father of inter-war Christiannationalism. He has also distinguished in literature as an essayist and epigrammatist, close toJunimea, and had a long university career in Iasi, at the Faculty of Law. He has socialistbeginnings, then conservative. He was along with Nicolae Iorga, founder of the DemocraticNationalist Party, but the closeness between the two was not long lasting, becoming politicalenemies afterwards. From his nationalist-Christian party founded in 1923, the Legion ofArchangel Michael emerges, which will promote the same political doctrine, with morefervency and enthusiasm. He came to power with Goga, in 1937, with the ChristianNationalist Party, for a short period, the abolition of political parties by Carol II also markingthe end of his political career. Gifted parliamentary orator, with a long career, he was,however, a supporter of the dictatorship, and remained consistent with the Christiannationalist doctrine, called at that time, "cuzist".
