Gheorghe Clime (1889 – 22 September 1939) was a Romanian fascist politician, leading member of the Iron Guard, and president of its electoral wing, Totul pentru Țară.
He graduated from the Școală Superioară de Silvicultură (Academy of Silviculture) in Brănești, Ilfov County, a city located about 25km from the Romanian capital, Bucharest, where he trained as a forestry engineer.
In July 1927, Codreanu announced the foundation the Legion of the Archangel Michael (or Legionary Movement), a new militant fascist, Orthodox, and ultranationalist group.
During the 1932 Romanian general election, Clime ran as a candidate under the Legion's electoral name "Garda de fier" ("Iron Guard") in Domnești.
In December 1936, Codreanu established the rank of "Commander of the Annunciation" (in Romanian, "Comandant al Bunei Vestiri") within the Legionary Movement, denoting the highest level in the Legion's hierarchy, and Clime was promoted to this rank alongside other founding members Ion Moța, Corneliu Georgescu, Ilie Gârneață, Radu Mironovici, Mille Lefter, and Ion Blănaru.
After the death of Gheorghe Cantacuzino in 1937, Clime succeeded him as President of Totul pentru Țară ("Everything for the Country"), the Legionary Movement's electoral party.
[3] In 1938, due in part to the rise in popularity of the Legionary Movement, King Carol II staged a self-coup and initiated a royal dictatorship, suspending the country's constitution and all civil liberties, and imposing martial law.
