ELECTIONS AND ELECTORAL INCIDENTS DURING THE REIGN OF CAROL I

Summary/Abstract: ROMANIAN POLITICAL LIFE WILL CONTINUE TO BE EXTREMELY TURBULENT EVEN AFTER THE ABDICATION OF ALEXANDRU IOAN CUZA AND THE BRINGING TO THE THRONE OF THE PRINCIPALITIES OF CAROL OF HOHENZOLLERN-SIGMARINGEN. AT THE BEGINNING OF CAROL'S REIGN, IN A PERIOD ROUGHLY EQUAL TO THAT IN WHICH CUZA RULED THE PRINCIPALITIES, THE FIRST ONE WORKED WITH TEN GOVERNMENTS. THE FIRST, LED BY LASCAR CATARGIU, WAS AT THE HELM OF THE COUNTRY FOR ONLY TWO MONTHS, BETWEEN MAY 11 AND JULY 13, 1866. THE GOVERNMENT LED BY ALEXANDRU G. GOLESCU (FEBRUARY 2 - APRIL 18, 1870) ALSO HAD A TWOMONTH MANDATE. EVEN THOUGH WITH THE INSTALLIG OF THE LASCĂR CATARGIU GOVERNMENT ON MARCH 11, 1871 ROMANIAN POLITICAL LIFE BECAME MORE STABLE, THE TWO GOVERNMENT PARTIES CONTINUED THEIR POLITICAL DISPUTE BOTH IN THE PARLIAMENTARY ROSTRUM AND IN THE STREETS, THROUGH PUBLIC DEMONSTRATIONS OR DURING ELECTIONS.
