Virgil Madgearu and Grigore Gafencu, Two Intellectuals with a European Formation - Exponents of Romania’s Strategy of Economical Central-European

Virgil Madgearu şi Grigore Gafencu, intelectuali de formaţie europeană, exponenţi ai strategiei româniei de integrare economică central-europeană

Author(s): Simion Costea / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 02/1999

Keywords: Virgil Madgearu; Grigore Gafencu; the inter-war period; Central-European agrarian States

Virgil Madgearu and Grigore Gafencu were among the first Romanian political men in the inter-war period who promoted the idea of Central-European and pan-European integration (beginning with 1924). After they had come to power within the National Peasant Party government (1923-1931), they contributed to raising the idea of European integration at the rank of Romania’s state policy. Madgearu conceived and applied Romania’s strategy concerning the gradual achievement of an economical agreement among the Central-European agrarian States, agreement that had to lead toward the pan-European economical-political integration. In this respect, Madgearu had an important role in structuring the Block of the Agrarian States and in backing The Briand Project at the League of Nations. Madgearu’s purpose was to surpass the economical overproduction crisis from 1929-1933, through selling the surplus of Romania’s cereals to the West-European countries in conditions of preferential custom dues. Grigore Gafencu pointed out the merits of the Romanian government in promoting accurate solutions in the specific economical problems of the country, within the process of European construction to which Romania was participating.

Dimitrie Gusti – a Forerunner of the European Union

Dimitrie Gusti - un precursor al Uniunii Europene

Author(s): Simion Costea / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 05+06/2003

Keywords: Aristide Briand; the European Union; Dimitrie Gusti; the federal model; European Integration

In 1929-1931, the French foreign minister Aristide Briand tried to organise a European Union in which Romania had to be a founder member. The famous Romanian Social Institute from Bucharest amplified the public debate on the idea of European Union in the milieus of the Romanian political and intellectual elite. The Institute organised public conferences in which the most important ministers, political leaders and university professors expressed their favourable conceptions about the Briand Plan of European Union. The president of the Romanian Social Institute, the academician Dimitrie Gusti, stated in 1930 that the edification of the European Union was possible and it represented an objective sociological necessity. He was for an efficient European Union following the federal model of Switzerland, in order to avoid a second world war. We consider that Dimitrie Gusti belongs to the pan-European interwar trend and to the gallery of the forerunners of the present European Integration.

Author(s): Costea Simion / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2000

The (local) organization for the county of Mureş of the Ploughmen’s Front, run by Victor Groza (brother of the Prime Minister Petru Groza), led a policy that promoted „burgeois“ reforms and specific ethnic Romanian interests, getting into a tough competition for power with the local organization of the Romanian Comunist Party and of the Popular Hungarian Union (which both promoted the interests of the Hungarian minority). But, while getting ready for the elections, that were to take place in November 1946, the Romanian Communist Party infiltrated the local organization of the Ploughmen’s Front with members of it’s own organization, turning it into an obedient criptocommunist organization.
