 Blaga was politically extremely close to the "cuzist" party, which
was a fascist, extreme nationalist and antisemitic party, and the party in 
power of the last government under the 1923 Constitution, the short lived but
infamous Goga-Cuza government. The communists treated him somehow kinder
because he was a candidate for the Nobel prize for his poetry.( With the
revival of nationalism under communism, his political sins looked less 
serious and he could be appreciated for his litterary works. Ditto for Goga 
and Bratescu-Voinesti )

 Would you be so kind to explain what do you mean by "politically
extremely close"?
Was he a member/leader of that party?
Did he have some party of his own that was related to that one?
Did he wrote fascist/antisemitic propaganda?
I believe the  common answer to the above three questions is no. But,
I might be wrong, so please, dear S, illuminate me.
Regards,
Dan
P.s. Maybe you'll consider answering my questions about Mrs.Lupescu
some time.

Esti consecvent de obraznic domnule "S". Rinesti prin istoria si cultura romana
cu ochi si interese straine ei. Si strimbi prea des din nas ca sa nu devii
 jignitor. Manierele nu-ti scuza aluziile otravite. Detallile nu-ti confera
veridicitate. 
 Nu stiu exact ce cauti , dar amestecul de tehnicitate si siretenie face un cocteil gretos si iritant.
E timpul sa semnezi ... !
