Politique Internationale number 105 autumn 2004 - Special issue : Romania at the door of the European Union (4023 words)
Blandiana and her friends convinced Coposu that as both a critical intellectual and a former RCP member (but, unlike Iliescu, never a paid apparatchik), Constantinescu was the ideal candidate of the anti-communist, democratic opposition.
Together with Coposu, Blandiana, Manolescu, and other personalities, he played an important role in the construction of the umbrella organization called the Democratic Convention of Romania (CDR), an alliance of parties and civic associations whose main shared value was hostility to Iliescu and his party.
Corneliu Coposu passed away in 1995, and the political class realized that this moment was a watershed.
Corneliu Coposu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (980 words)
Coposu was born in Bobota, Sălaj County (in Transylvania, part of Austria-Hungary at the time) to the Eastern Rite (Greek-Catholic) archpriest Valentin Coposu and his wife Aurelia Coposu (née Anceanu, herself the daughter of Greek-Catholic archpriest Iuliu Anceanu).
Coposu moved to Bucharest in 1940, when Northern Transylvania was ceded to Hungary, and, during World War II, he was an important member of the PNŢ delegation in the clandestine opposition to Ion Antonescu's regime.
Coposu was a staunch monarchist, and supported the reinstating of Mihai I as King of Romania.
