Biography
He was expelled from the Romanian Communist Party from 1942 to 1945 for "faction activity" and again from 1958 to 1965, this time on the guilt of "not completely honest with the party regarding his participation in some legionary meetings". Pavel Ștefan was elected deputy in the Great National Assembly in the sessions 1952 - 1957 and 1957 - 1961. He commanded to "cure the sick with work", referring to Romania's labour camp system. He became subject to investigation following his involvement in the violations of human rights in Romania's penal system. From 19.8.1969 to 11.02.1971 he served as Minister of Transport. At some point in the 40s he was acquainted with Franț Țandără.
