Answer

In 1996, Romanian President Ion Iliescu was defeated by Emil Constantinescu in a presidential election that led to the restoration of Michael's citizenship. Iliescu had been in power since the fall of the Romanian Communist Party in 1989, and his election victory in 1992 was marred by allegations of fraud. Constantinescu, a former university professor and human rights activist, was seen as a more democratic alternative to Iliescu.
