 Comnen later claimed that he had also reached a friendly agreement with Count Andrássy and other Hungarian conservatives, but that this had been vetoed by Maniu.If accepted, the Hungarian proposal would have led to the establishment of a dual monarchy; Ferdinand I, King of the Romanians, would have also reigned as Ferdinand VI of Hungary.Petrescu-Comnen soon joined the National Liberal Party (PNL), and, in the November 1919 election, he won a Durostor County seat in the Assembly of Deputies.
