Horia Stamatu (September 9, 1912 – July 7/8, 1989) was a Romanian poet, essayist, and far-right politician.
[2] In 1941, in the aftermath of the rebellion, he left for Germany through Bulgaria, and was interned at Buchenwald concentration camp with other members of the Iron Guard from 1942 to 1944.
[1] After 1944, upon the establishment of an Iron Guard government-in-exile in Vienna, he was involved in propaganda broadcasts through Radio Donau.
There, he was among the founders of the Sorbonne-affiliated Romanian research institute; other initiators included Eugène Ionesco, Emil Cioran, Mircea Eliade, Edmond Jaloux, and Marcel Brion.
Until going into exile, Stamatu published several lengthy poems, such as Moartea lui 1940, in magazines, but no other books.
