Constantin Pîrvulescu

Constantin Pîrvulescu ( born November 10, 1895 in Băile Olăneşti Vâlcea county, † July 11, 1992 ) was a Romanian communist politician. He was one of the founders of the Romanian Communist Party ( PCR) and was to disagreements with the party leadership, one of the most active opponents of the communist Romanian leader Nicolae Ceauşescu.

In November 1979 at the 12th Congress of the PCR, he opposed the re-election of Ceauşescu, whereupon accused the party leadership of the pursuit of individual interests. He threw the party before the neglect of the real problems of the country, to glorify only to Ceauşescu. This unprecedented attack in communist Romania came from a man who was living long associated with Soviet Communism ( he was the only member of the Central Committee, which was in 1958 against Khrushchev's withdrawal of Soviet troops ). Pîrvulescu was expelled from the hall, was pulled its position as a delegate back to Congress and he was placed under strict supervision and house arrest.

In March 1989 he signed together with five other dissidents ( Gheorghe Apostol, Alexandru Bârlădeanu, Grigore Răceanu, Corneliu Mănescu and Silviu Brucan ) an open letter ( " The Letter of the Six "). The document, broadcast by Radio Free Europe and Voice of America, was a critique of the politics of Ceauşescu. It led to the swift arrest and interrogation of the signatory by the Securitate, and then forced her to stay in different places.

Was Pîrvulescu with Suzana Pîrvulescu (1898-1942), himself a PCR - activist who was imprisoned in 1936 until 1939, married.
