Virgil Solomon

Born on 27 August 1894 in Drăguș commune, Fogaras County, to an old boyar family mentioned in local documents as early as the 15th century.

And, finally, because Virgil Solomon is a fearless soldier of the truth, a leader of the Maniu line of action – that these good-for-nothing gangs so much... "adore", – a feared debater, undefeated in the real parliamentary battle, who never once lets himself be intimidated by the terror of parade nationalism.

Virgil Solomon was appointed Minister of Public Works and Reconstruction and served in the governments led by Constantin Sănătescu (II) and Nicolae Rădescu, from 4 November 1944 to 6 March 1945.
