“Oana Gheorghiu and Carmen Uscatu are wonderful people. We need people to put our hopes in. And they are such people. I have no way of knowing how hard it was for Oana to make the decision she did. But I know it will be very difficult for him in the position he is in“, former Deputy Prime Minister Dragoş Anastasiu wrote on Facebook on Thursday evening.
She added that the activity of the new deputy prime minister will be “under the spotlight, and her mistakes will be hunted by some politicians (and part of the media)”.
“Oana is a competition that scares them. Because she could inspire people as good as her to take the step into politics. And I’m very glad that Ilie Bolojan managed to convince her. In our politics there were few moments of joy for me. This is one of them. Oana, I hope you succeed“, Anastasiu also transmitted.
In July, Dragoș Anastasiu organized, on a Sunday, a conference in which he announced his resignation from the position of deputy prime minister, against the backdrop of public and political pressure generated by the revelations related to his involvement in a corruption case regarding the bribery of an ANAF function in the period 2009-2017.
Later, in August, the President of Romania, Nicușor Dan, signed the decree appointing Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan as interim deputy prime minister.
These days, Bolojan sent to the Presidential Administration the proposal for filling the vacant post of deputy prime minister, in the person of Oanai Gheorghiu, co-founder and co-president of the Association Gives Life.
She took the oath, on Thursday, for the position of deputy prime minister, during a ceremony that took place at the Cotroceni Palace.
