Aurel Popovici
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aurel C. Popovici (16 October 1863 Lugoj, Transylvania - 9 February 1917 Geneva, Switzerland) was an Austria-Hungary ethnic Romanian lawyer and politician. With other Romanian intellectuals of the National Romanian Party, he signed the Transylvanian Memorandum, a document pleading for equal rights with Hungarians in Transylvania, and demanding an end to persecutions and Magyarization attempts.
In 1906 he proposed the federalization of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy (into the so-called United States of Greater Austria).
He is buried in the cemetery next to St. Nicholas Church, in Braşov.
