Yes, it's true.
Ion Iliescu became the President of Romania after the 1989 Revolution. He served as President from 1989 to 1996, then again from 2000 to 2004.
A strange answer but I think that is correct: no leaders, a spontaneous movement. I was in Bucharest in December 1989.
People couldn't take it anymore so they expressed their feelings. Most of the causes were religious and political, because Nicolae Ceauşescu razed churches and he didn't let people show their faith in God. The revolution was the beginning of democracy in Romania.
Libertatea is a Romanian tabloid newspaper published in Bucharest. It was the first newspaper to appear after the Romanian revolution in 1989, announcing their former dictator had fled the country.
Steaua Bucureşti were the winners of the Romanian Liga I in 1989.

The main difference between the Romanian and Czech revolutions lies in their nature and outcomes. The Romanian Revolution in December 1989 was marked by violent confrontations and resulted in the overthrow of Nicolae Ceaușescu's authoritarian regime, culminating in his execution. In contrast, the Czech Revolution, known as the Velvet Revolution, was a largely peaceful transition that led to the fall of the communist government without significant bloodshed. This difference highlights the varying approaches to regime change in Eastern Europe during the fall of communism.
