Ion Rațiu

Ion Rațiu was a prominent Romanian politician, diplomat, and businessman, known for his role in advocating for democracy and human rights in Romania during the tumultuous period of the late 20th century. He was an influential figure in Romania's transition from communism to democracy following the 1989 revolution. Rațiu, who spent much of his life in the United Kingdom, returned to Romania to participate in politics, notably running for president in 1990.
