Congresul studenţesc de la Târgu-Mureş din 1936 (II)
The Students’ Congres from Târgu-Mureş in 1936

Summary/Abstract: In the Mureş Conty, as well as in the entire Transylvania, the Iron Guard has found a particularly fertile ground for asserting, especially in the rural areas. And, for the years after 1945, this is explained mainly as a counterweight to the assertion of the Hungarian revisionism. On September 21st, 1939, the Iron Guard has assassinated the Prime Minister of Romania, Armand Călinescu. The reprisals ordered by King Charles II were of an unexpected violence. Three legionaires from each county were about to be executed and then exposed to serve as an example to the population. Those executed in the Mureş County were exposed in the 7 November District (the road leading to the hospital), a place where, at that time, was the city market. Although there were elements that manifested sympathies for the Iron Guard in the Mureş County, many of the legionaires who were caught here were tortured, put under guard, beaten until blood, insulted, endured hunger, thirst, cold.
