“Restive the authority, Marcel Barbu often opposes the Administration and his bureaucracy which according to him prevents the initiative and the realization of the individual. Its creed remains the same one: without external help, a small community, by its work, its solidarity and its faith can surmount all the obstacles. He dies the November 7th 1984 with Paris, at the 77 years age. “
