Vasile Patilineț

Vasile Patilineț ( December 21, 1923 , † 1984 in Turkey ) was a politician of the Romanian Communist Party (PCR).

Life

Patilineț became a member of the PCR in September 1945 and later a member of the Central Committee (Central Committee ) of the Partidul Muncitoresc Român (PMR) and deputy head of the Central Committee's Organization Department. In May 1961 he was awarded the medal for the 40th anniversary of the founding of the PCR and was also a member of the Grand National Assembly , in which he represented the constituency of Satu Mare .

At the Ninth Party Congress of the PCR in July 1965 he was elected Secretary of the Central Committee and held this position until February 1972. As such, he was commissioned by the Secretary General of the PCR, Nicolae Ceaușescu , to conduct an investigation into internal party repression at the end of 1965 . The reason for this was the death of the former Minister of Justice Lucrețiu Pătrăşcanu in April 1954, in which the high-ranking functionary and Central Committee secretary Alexandru Drăghici was also involved. Between April 1969 and October 1972 he was also a member of the Defense Council of the Socialist Republic of Romania , one of the highest bodies of the Socialist Republic and the main body for national defense issues.

Shortly before leaving the party leadership, he became Minister of Forestry and Building Materials in the government of Prime Minister Ion Gheorghe Maurer in January 1972 and retained this post in the subsequent government of Manea Mănescu . As part of a cabinet reshuffle, he became Minister for Mining, Petroleum and Geology in the Manescu government in December 1977, of which he was a member until December 1979.

Patilineț then became ambassador to Turkey . While working there, he was killed in a car accident, with speculation that the accident was caused by the Securitate .
