THE ACTIVITY OF ALEXANDRU MARGHILOMAN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CONSERVATIVE GOVERNANCE IN 1910–1912, REFLECTED IN THE DAILY NEWSPAPER DIMINEATA (DECEMBER 1910–FEBRUARY 1911)

Alexandru Marghiloman was, without a doubt, one of the political personalities who marked the politi
cal and social life of Romania from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The present study 
aims to reveal to the readers the image of the young and ambitious politician, when he was in full ascension of his political 
career, which will culminate with the appointment, by King Ferdinand I, as prime minister on March 5, 1918. Alexandru 
Marghiloman was a strong character, educated at the French school, with a brilliant speech and also a remarkable figure  in 
the socio-cultural life of Romania, a true „wallah lord” as Nicolae Peneș called him in his book.
