Călineşcu, Armand

Călineşcu, Armand

▪ prime minister of Romania
born June 4 [May 22, Old Style], 1893, Piteşti, Rom.
died Sept. 21, 1939, Bucharest

      statesman who, as prime minister of Romania (March–September 1939), provided the major administrative inspiration and support for King Carol II's (Carol II) royal dictatorship.

      The son of an army officer and landholder, Călineşcu practiced law at Piteşti and later was an organizer for the National Peasant Party. During Romania's first National Peasant administration (1928–30), he served in the ministries of agriculture and interior and in December 1937 became minister of interior in the National Christian Cabinet of Octavian Goga.

      Following King Carol's establishment of a royal dictatorship (February 1938), Călineşcu retained his interior post under the Orthodox patriarch Miron Cristea, but he became in fact the driving force of the government. When Cristea's health failed, Călineşcu was appointed vice premier and became premier on the patriarch's death (March 1939). A vigorous opponent of the fascist Iron Guard, Călineşcu sought to destroy Guardist influence both by forcible suppression and by outbidding the organization for popular support. His plans for engineering a patriotic “National Rebirth” were cut short, however, when he was assassinated by Guardist terrorists.
