Following Daniel Chitoiu’s resignation, further changes within the Government have been announced earlier today by PNL’s leader, Crin Antonescu, who announced at the end of the Party’s Standing Bureau meeting that four Liberal ministers will be replaced.

‘Subsequent to the resignations of our colleagues Daniel Chitoiu, Radu Stroe, Eugen Nicolaescu and Andrei Gerea, the National Standing Bureau discussed the nominations made within it and based on the voting, PNL makes the following appointments for these positions inside of the Government: Klaus Iohannis, as Minister of Interior and Deputy Prime Minister, Eugen Nicolaescu, for the Ministry of Public Finance, Teodor Atanasiu, the Ministry of Economy and Cristian Busoi, for the Ministry of Health.’, Antonescu detailed, quoted by Agerpres.

He further said, according to the press agency, that all these nominations have been communicated to Prime Minister Victor Ponta, who acknowledged them without making any remarks. Thus, Ponta’s official confirmation is expected within the next period.
