Constantin Nacu (June 29, 1844 – February 20, 1920) was a Wallachian, later Romanian politician.
Born into a Assembly of Deputies. In 1884, a blaze destroyed the home of C. A. Rosetti, the printing press of his Românul newspaper and his personal library. Together with PNL members V. A. Urechia, Dimitrie Gianni and Alexandru Băicoianu, Nacu formed part of a committee that launched a public appeal to rebuild the gutted property. However, Rosetti refused their offer.[1]
During a time of bitter rivalry between the two major parties, Nacu steadily ascended within the PNL. He won three more terms in the Assembly:
land tax meant to discourage absentee ownership of estates. Over the course of the years 1885–1886, provisions were adopted that benefited landowners who entered the emerging capitalist economy. In 1885, he presented a law, adopted the following year, that imposed a scaled protectionist customs regime: heavy duties were charged on foreign goods produced domestically in ample quantities, while those not produced in Romania were exempt. A new commercial code, based on the Italian model, came into force in 1887.[2]
Nacu was
Gendarmerie and Army into a moment of political unrest. On March 13, the opposition met in Bucharest to demand that King Carol I dismiss the government; the armed forces intervened decisively in an unsuccessful attempt to keep the crowd from entering the royal palace. Two days later, a meeting to protest this action was held before parliament and again dispersed by troops. The outbreak of a peasant uprising in the areas surrounding Bucharest on March 20 impelled Carol to ask for Brătianu's resignation, which put an end to Nacu's tenure.[3]
He died in Bucharest and was buried in
Bellu cemetery.[3]
