“We announce with sorrow that senior liberal Radu Câmpeanu ceased to exist today. He will remain in our hearts as the first PNL President after 1989, the man who refounded Romania’s National Liberal Party after experiencing harsh communism period and terrible years in jail as a political prisoner. We send our prayers and condolences to his family,” reads a statement from the Liberal Party.

Also Romanian President Klaus Iohannis mourns the loss of the great liberal leader:
“The reconstruction of the National Liberal Party and the rebirth of a democratic life in Romania are related to the name of Radu Câmpeanu. While in exile, he promoted a free Romania and after 1990 he fought for his European values in his home country. The death took away one of the most authentic political seniors of Romania. May he rest in peace!”, wrote Iohannis on Facebook.

Radu Campeanu was the first president of PNL after the fall of communism. He served as president of the Liberal Party from 1990 to 1993.

A lider of the Liberal Youth before the Second World War, he was a student during the war. After the WW2, Campeanu took part in anti-communist demonstrations from 24 to 28 February 1945.
