Power and Opposition in the year of the Romanian Kingdom Proclamation

  • TITLU în română: Putere şi opoziţie în România în anul proclamării Regatului
  • Subiect: The following study refers to the proclamation act of the Kingdom of Romania in 1881. Starting from the diary and correspondence of King Charles I, but also from the published works of Mihai Eminescu, the first being a power pole and the other a representative of the opposition, we tried to grasp the backstage of a historical event of great interes! both for its makers and for the future of Romanian nation. Far from being easily obtained, the proclamation of the Kingdom involved a strategy undertaken by the foreign prince and by a part of the political class, with objectives aimed primarily to neutralize adverse foreign powers. The success of this project fulfilled both the wish offoreign prince to become king and that of his prime minister to strengthen his position in the party and the government. The complicated political battles of 1881 had, however, surprising effects. Although monarchists, the conservatives ignored the proclamation of the Kingdom, which they believed "confiscated" by the liberals. Eminescu himself has downplayed its importance. In the perspective of time, the event proved to he significant, because ii provided additional inputs for modernization and institutional stability, increasing also the national prestige.
