Who gradually marginalized Iliescu from 1971?
Nicolae Ceaușescu
Emil Constantinescu
Traian Băsescu
Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej
Answer
Nicolae Ceaușescu gradually marginalized Iliescu by promoting himself as the sole leader and removing Iliescu's supporters from key positions in the Romanian Communist Party. He consolidated his power by creating a personality cult, suppressing dissent, and centralizing decision-making. Ceaușescu's authoritarian rule would shape Romania's political landscape until his overthrow in the Romanian Revolution of 1989.
