 Before the Aster Revolution, Flueraș and Jumanca were charged with contacting the Romanian National Party, negotiations which led, in early October, to the creation of "Consiliul Național Român Central" ("CNRC", the Central Romanian National Council).The CNRC was instrumental in convoking the Alba Iulia Assembly of December 1, 1918, one which declared Transylvania's secession from the Hungarian Republic, and its will to join with Romania; Flueraș was the Assembly's vice president, and subsequently served as Chief of Department of Social Security and Hygiene in the Directory Council (the "de facto" government of the region, led by Iuliu Maniu).Among the other Social Democrats in the Council were Jumanca, Albani, and Enea Grapini.
