George Popovici

George Popovici (German: Georg Popovici; November 20 [O.S. November 8] 1863 – July 11/12, 1905) was an Austro-Hungarian and Romanian agrarian politician, jurist and poet. The scion of a middle-class intellectual family in Austrian-ruled Bukovina, he took to politics as a youth, participating in the nationalist movement as a member of Societatea Academică Junimea and Concordia Society. He won a seat in the Austrian House of Deputies in 1897, and, during his mandate, co-founded the Romanian National People's Party, which he also represented in the Diet of Bukovina. Popovici and Iancu Flondor led the party's autonomist wing, which rejected compromise with the Austrian administration and demanded national rights for the Romanian Bukovinans.
