Dealul Spirii Trial
Dealul Spirii Trial (Romanian: ''Procesul din Dealul Spirii'') was a political trial conducted by a military tribunal in the Kingdom of Romania. 271 members of the Communist Party of Romania were accused of treason after voting for the inclusion of the party into the Third International. The defendants were convicted and later pardoned. The trial was the first step of the repression of communists in the Kingdom of Romania. Less than two years after the trial, the parliament voted a total ban of the Communist Party and communist ideology; for the next two decades, the government enforced a violent repression against the communists and labour unions.

While in exile in France, at some point in time due to the exile of Paul Goma and his arrival in France, Câmpeanu was suspected to have become an informer for the Securitate (the dreadful Romanian Communist secret police), but no conclusive evidence has been produced to support this allegation. Câmpeanu was the first president of the contemporary National Liberal Party (PNL) between 1990 and 1993, a political party he helped re-found in early January 1990, shortly after the fall of Communism, as well as a Senator on behalf of the PNL between 1990 and 1992, and then once more between 2004 and ...
