As a result of the Potsdam Conference , where Western Allied governments refused to recognize Groza 's administration , King Michael called on Groza to resign . When he refused , the monarch went to his summer home in Sinaia and refused to sign any government decrees or bills ( a period colloquially known as '' greva regală '' — " the royal strike " ) . Following Anglo-American mediation , Groza agreed to include politicians from outside his electoral alliance , appointing two secondary figures in their parties ( the National Liberal Mihail Romniceanu and the National Peasants ' Emil Hațieganu ) as Ministers without Portfolio ( January 1946 ) . At the time , Groza 's party and the PCR came to disagree on some issues ( with the Front publicly affirming its support for private land ownership ) , before the Ploughmen 's Front was eventually pressured into supporting Communist tenets
