Gheorghe Argeșanu

In memoriam

Romanian cavalry general and politician who served as a Prime Minister of Romania for about a week in September 1939. He served as Minister of Defense in the second Miron Cristea cabinet from March–October 1938. He was appointed as premier by King Carol II after the assassination of his predecessor, Armand Cãlinescu, by the nationalist Iron Guard. Soon after, he was imprisoned without trial in the Jilava prison, and ultimately killed there during the Jilava Massacre by members of the Iron Guard on the same night together with 63 other political prisoners, in retaliation for the violence he had endorsed.
