Summary/Abstract: The Antisemitic legislation, after the 22nd of June 1940, was intensified by the non-acceptance of the Romanian citizens having a Jews origin within the Nation Party, by forbidding them the right of detaining public functions, of obtaining rural properties, of exercising professions as professors or having a carrier within the Romanian army. Through the decree-laws promulgated by King Charles the 2nd, the Romanian State became closer to the German and Italian Totalitarian fascist system and the rights, the civil and the political liberties of the Jews, were restrained by the decree-laws signed by the Monarch. The use of the nationalist language and the antisemitic rhetoric of the regime representatives indicated the main dimension of the Nation Party.
