About George Popovici

  • George Popovici (German: Georg Popovici; November 20 [O.S.
  • November 8] 1863 – July 11/12, 1905) was an Austro-Hungarian and Romanian agrarian politician, jurist and poet.
  • He took to politics as a youth, participating in the nationalist movement as a member of Societatea Academica Junimea and Concordia Society.
  • He won a seat in the Austrian House of Deputies in 1897, and, during his mandate, co-founded the Romanian National People's Party, which he also represented in the Diet of Bukovina.
  • Popovici and Iancu Flondor led the party's autonomist wing, which rejected compromise with the Austrian administration and demanded national rights for the Romanian Bukovinans. Popovici lost the parliamentary election of 1900, during which time he ran into heavy debt.
  • He left for the Kingdom of Romania, renouncing Austrian citizenship and focusing on his career as a historian of law.
  • He eventually committed suicide at Munkács, which was at the time part of Hungarian Transleithania.
