The new ruler, Gheorghe Bibescu, released Bălcescu and other participants in the plot during 1843; soon afterwards, they became involved in founding a new Freemason-inspired secret society, known as Frăția ("The Brotherhood"), which was to serve as the central factor in the revolution.
Uus valitseja Gheorghe Bibescu vabastas Bălcescu ja teised osalised 1843. aasta vandenõu ajal; varsti pärast seda osalesid nad uue vabamüürlastest innustatud salaühingu Frăţia ("Vennaskond") loomisel, mis teenis revolutsiooni keskse tegurina.
