Romanian PM: I Do Not Fear an Eventual Dismissal

Dancila told journalists during a visit in Bacau county that her government continues to have the support of PSD Chairman Liviu Dragnea.

“I’m not afraid, whenever you are appointed to an office you know that you will leave it one day.(…) We are a political government, we have the chairman’s support and the fact that we accomplished 73% of our governing program will be appreciated by the party,” said the Romanian chief of cabinet.

However, Liviu Dragnea said on Tuesday that he will “analyze” the current situation of the country’s government and prime minister after the conclusion of Sunday’s EU Parliament elections.

In an interview for Adevarul, Dragnea also said that he expects a proposal from the prime minister on how to resolve the issue of the three cabinet offices which are currently without a full-time minister.

“I expect that everyone (in the government, ed.) will not forget why they were appointed there. (…) We will analyze it after the elections. This is an advice for everyone: don’t forget why you were appointed there. She (the prime minister, ed.) was appointed there to implement a governing program,” Dragnea said when asked about his relationship with the chief of cabinet.

Speculations are mounting that the prime minister’s relation with the party leader has deteriorated as of late, after Dancila refused to attempt a cabinet restructuring in order to circumvent President Klaus Iohannis’ refusal to appoint new justice, EU funds and Romanians Abroad ministers proposed by the social-democrats.
