Ion Iliescu, comemorat în anonimat. O mână de oameni la groapa fostului preşedinte

The one-year memorial for Ion Iliescu saw minimal attendance, with only a few people present at his grave. Ionuț Vulpescu was the only notable figure in attendance. Iliescu passed away on August 5, 2025, at the age of 95 after a prolonged hospital stay. His funeral was marked by military honors and was attended only by family and close friends, making it a unique event in post-communist Romania. He was the first Romanian president to receive state funerals since the fall of communism, and his death was declared a national day of mourning.
