 In August 1934, Filipescu hosted in Bucharest a grand reception in honor of Maniu.In March 1935, objecting to Carol's state of emergency and censorship regime, he approached the PP, the PNȚ, the Radical Peasants' Party (PȚR) and the Georgist Liberals for a tactical alliance.This was weakened by the PȚR, which insisted that Maniu had tolerated corruption and was therefore unfrequentable.
