	Ion Iliescu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Iliescu is often accused by political opponents of having communist convictions and allegiances and tolerating corruption in the PSD (when he was a party leader) and the administration (when he was a president).
		Iliescu was the main figure of the period immediately following the Revolution that overthrew Nicolae Ceauşescu in December 1989, as well as the main person to benefit from it, as his leadership was quickly aknowledged within the inner circle of revolutionary leaders.
		Iliescu is accused by his opponents of having held three terms in office (four, counting the one between December 1989 and June 1990), although the Constitution, adopted in 1991, during his first mandate (1990-1992), was not to allow it.

		Between February-May 1990, Ion Iliescu was the President of the Provisional Council of National Unity, a newly created body that assumed the powers of the provisional state power, in which were included the representatives of all political parties founded after the revolution.
		There is no doubt that Ion Iliescu as a political man has put his imprint on the history of Romania at the end of one century and the beginning of a new one.

	East European Constitutional Review
		Such a one was Ion Iliescu, a former Moscow-educated apparatchik, a Communist Party secretary in charge of ideology who had been criticized by Ceausescu in the early 1970s for "intellectualist" deviation from Lenin’s, read Ceausescu’s, vision of Marxist orthodoxy.
		The return of Ion Iliescu to the presidency and PSDR’s reascendance in government may be viewed as Romania’s "velvet restoration" (to borrow Adam Michnik’s concept5).
		Ironically, Iliescu and PSDR had contributed to Vadim Tudor’s eventual success by their refusal to endorse numerous proposals in parliament to lift Vadim Tudor’s immunity and put him on trial for countless calumnies against almost every prominent Romanian political and intellectual personage.

		Before then, Iliescu and his ex-communist government had adopted a strongly anti-monarchist position and rejected nearly every attempt by the king to return to his homeland during their seven years in power (1990-96).
		Iliescu and his Social Democracy Party continued their attacks against the king even after they lost power in 1996, accusing the new center-right government of "trampling" on the republican constitution by returning to Michael his Romanian citizenship.
		President Iliescu is trying to repair the damage that was caused during his previous administration by the treatment which he and his government handed out to King Michael.

	Iliescu, Ion
		Iliescu was elected a member of the PCR central committee in 1968 and became its propaganda secretary in 1971.
		Conflict over the launching of a ‘cultural revolution’ and the growth of Ceauşescu’s personality cult led to Iliescu’s removal from national politics: he was sent to Timişoara as chief of party propaganda.
		At the outbreak of the ‘Christmas revolution’ in 1989, Iliescu was one of the first leaders to emerge, becoming president of the Provisional Council of National Unity in February 1990.

		Iliescu reemerged from the shadows in December 1989, as head of the National Salvation Council, an eclectic mix of poets, army generals and dissident apparatchiks.
		Iliescu's speech is meant to kick off an academic conference on "France and Romania in the Twentieth Century", but even some of the delegates have misgivings about his presence.
		Iliescu does not hesitate to bludgeon such questions with the dialectic his Moscow training instilled in him: "The combination of objective contradictions" explains the political crises that occurred under his regime, thus diminishing his own personal responsibility, and refuting the "fabulations" peddled by his interrogators.

	The Epoch Times \| Romanian Farmers Cry for Iliescu on Vote Day
		Iliescu, a dominant yet loved father-figure for many Romanians, is barred from running after two terms in office.
		Critics cannot forget Iliescu for unleashing thousands of club-wielding miners in 1990 to quash student demonstrations in Bucharest, demanding his resigation and far-reaching reforms a year after the overthrow and execution of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.
		But for many poorer Romanians, Iliescu remains a role model and his involvement in the campaign on behalf of Nastase has been a boon for the PSD, whose image has been tarnished by accusations of corruption and patronage.

	[ RADIO FREE EUROPE/ RADIO LIBERTY ]
		Romanian President Ion Iliescu delivered an historic speech on 12 October at the parliament building in Bucharest when, for the first time, a Romanian head of state acknowledged in no ambiguous terms and with no "ifs and buts" his country's participation in, and responsibility for, the perpetration of the Holocaust.
		Iliescu, as well as former President Emil Constantinescu, has on several occasions come close to acknowledging this shameful period in Romanian history, whether it was on International Holocaust Day (27 January, the day of the 1945 liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp) or on other occasions.
		Iliescu remarkably distanced himself from another self-exculpatory trend in modern Romanian historiography, one that emphasizes the second phase of the war, beginning in October 1942, when Antonescu gradually began to rescind the deportations and finally allowed those Jews who had survived the ordeals to return to Romania.

		Iliescu pledged to slow down the reforms undertaken by the centrists, providing the changes with what he calls "a rational basis." Tudor lacks a clear economic strategy.
