Romania Advances Socialistic Democratization Policy Shift
In Bucharest the Piata Gheorge Gheorgiu-Dej name is being dropped for new leadership naming as Romania moves toward “Socialistic Democratization.” President Ceausescu cracks down on former officials, while the regime touts economic liberalization, expanding foreign trade and tourism, and the Danube delta as a future draw. Tourism rises with Mamaia as a prime Black Sea resort, drawing 274,000 Western visitors and 131,000 from West Germany.
