Gheorghe Mironescu (1874—1949) was a Romanian politician, member of the National Peasants' Party (PNŢ), who served as a Prime Minister of Romania for two terms.
Born in Vaslui, Mironescu joined the PNŢ and became one of most its recognizable leaders. In 1930, Carol II of Romania returned incognito to Romania (with a false passport). On the morning of June 7 1930, the Government convened Parliament in order to cancel the act of January 4, 1926, through which Carol had renounced the throne. Carol was proclaimed the new King of Romania, replacing his own son Michael.
Prime Minister Iuliu Maniu resigned and a new PNŢ government was formed, led by Gheorghe Mironescu, one which restored Carol II to the throne on June 8, 1930; on the evening of the same day, Mironescu resigned in order for the king to name the government.
