A general view of the parliament hall, built by the late communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, as Romania's former King Michael speaks in Bucharest October 25, 2011, on his 90th birthday, first time since Soviet-backed communists forced him to abdicate more than 60 years ago, highlighting deep divisions over the country's past. While opinion polls show most Romanians do not want the monarchy back, post-communist leaders have tried to limit Michael's influence, fearing he could erode their own power if given a platform.
