Everything about Gheorghe Gaston Marin totally explained
Gheorghe Gaston Marin (born
Grossmann on
April 14,
1918,
Pădureni,
Vaslui County) is a
Romanian former
communist politician who had many roles under
Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej and
Nicolae Ceauşescu. Late in his life, he emigrated to
Israel.
Born into a
Jewish family, Marin studied electrical
engineering at
Grenoble,
France (between 1936 and 1941). A member of the
French Resistance, he was given charge of the
FTP-MOI's south-western region. In July
1944 he instigated the revolt at the
Tarn mines, one of the first steps in the French liberation from
German occupation. In August 1944, Gaston liberated the French city of
Carmaux, capturing 120 German soldiers. A few days later, he also liberated
Albi, the capital of the Tarn region.
After the start of
Communist Romania, he became Councillor of the Romanian
Council of Ministers in
1945-
1949 and Minister of the Economy in
1948-49; he was part of Romania's
delegation to the
Paris Peace Conference. From 1949 to
1954, Gaston Marin was Minister of Electrical Energy and Electrical Industry, and then, up to
1965, President of the
Planning Committee. In
1955-
1966, he served as President of State Committee for Nuclear Energy, and was (
1962-
1969) Vice-president of the Ministerial council, as well as Minister of Metallurgy, Mining, Chemistry, Transport and Telecommunications, Building, Chemical Industry, and National Trading.
In
1963, after attending
John F. Kennedy's funeral, he established
diplomatic relations with the
Western world, including the
United States. Those steps were highly encouraged by the US government and US President
Lyndon B. Johnson, and gained Romania a privileged communist country status.
From 1969 to
1982, Marin was President of the
Pricing Committee, until being removed from official positions by Ceauşescu, being by far the last Gheorghiu-Dej supporter to be eliminated from the Romanian government.
He had been a member of
Poalei Zion in his youth and, in
1989, made
aliyah (emigrated to
Israel).
