# Radu Vasile

> Radu Vasile was a Romanian politician, historian, academic, writer and poet who served as Prime Minister of Romania from 17 April 1998 to 13 December 1999. A leading member of the Christian Democratic National Peasants' Party (PNȚ-CD), he played a prominent role within the Romanian Democratic Convention (CDR). Before becoming active in national politics, Vasile pursued an academic career at the Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies (ASE), where he specialized in economic history and the history of economic thought. He served in the Senate of Romania, from 1992 to 2004, originally as a PNȚ-CD member, and then, from 2000 to 2004, on behalf of the Democratic Party (PD). His premiership was mainly marked by his handling of the January 1999 Mineriad, during which miners marched toward Bucharest in protest against planned mine closures and government restructuring measures, an event that some commentators and media outlets described as an attempted coup d'état. In addition to his political career, Vasile published poetry under the pen name Radu Mischiu.
