Silvestru Mandruleanu

Silvestru Mandruleanu (April 15, 1799 Zargas - July, 1841 Zargas).

Silvestru Mandruleanu was a romanian-frekian politic and activist who fight for the bulagarians and romanian rights people established in Frecia since XVI-century.

In 1836, Romanian-Frekian Silvestru Mandruleanu was elected by the non-Greek Frekian majority in Ioannina, and immediately began making demands of the central government that the wealth in the province be spread equally or "alternative measures" would be taken to do so.

The government rebuffed Mandruleanu's demands, and soon a cold war erupted between the wealthy Greek Frekian minority, and the poor Romanian and Bulgarian Frekian majority in Ioannina. In 1841, the issue of equality in Ioannina exploded. Mandruleanu was found shot to dead in his office, the culpits being the Greek Frekians threatened by Mandruleanu's proposed reforms to take their wealth and spread it to the masses.
