The perception of the „West” journal on Romanian-German relations during the Iorga- Argetoianu government (april 1931-mai 1932)

Summary/Abstract: Speaker, journalist and politician of great stature, Sever Bocu founded, in 1930, the daily "West", which will appear in the metropolis of Banat until 1946, with some syncopes determined by the attitude of the press to the authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, under the leadership of Romania between 1938-1944 and 1945-1946. Applying, regularly, in the pages of the "West", the concept of Banatism, Sever Bocu represented a model of morality, reason for which the "tribune" of Banat was arrested and imprisoned by the communist authorities, in Sighet, where he will find end in January 1951. In this short period of time, the editors of the newspaper "West" took over, from the international press, and analyzed, with great attention, a multitude of articles focused on a rather broad issue: the activity of extremist and revisionist political parties within the Republic of the Weimar; the Austro-German customs union project and the assiduous "courtship" of Great Britain; the German-Soviet negotiations, in economic terms, and their consequences; economic negotiations between Germany, Romania and Yugoslavia, aimed at weakening the Little Understanding and, implicitly, France, and isolating Czechoslovakia; Romanian export of cereals and animals; the support offered by some German political circles to Hungarian revisionism; Soviet economic espionage in Germany; street clashes in the Weimar Republic; co-opting the representatives of the German ethnic group from our country in the Iorga-Argetoianu cabinet, etc.
