PSD Senator Daniel Zamfir reacted harshly to the scandal of the lack of drinking water in Prahova, accusing the Minister of the Environment, Diana Buzoianu, of lack of responsibility and announcing that a motion against her is to be organized.
In a recent social media post, Daniel Zamfir slammed the minister’s handling of the drinking water crisis. “Full of excitement, the Habarnist minister speaks of honor. The honorable resignation of the general director for whom she worked and whom she thanked for what he did“, the senator wrote.
Zamfir also emphasized that the minister avoids taking responsibility: “Dorel lives in his own world and lies how he breathes. He says he has no responsibility because for two weeks 120,000 people have no drinking water. Unreal!” The PSD senator ended the message with a clear warning: “See you at the motion!”
The political conflict intensified in the context of the scandal generated by the lack of drinking water in several localities in Prahova. PSD President Sorin Grindeanu asked Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan to dismiss Diana Buzoianu from the position of Minister of the Environment. However, Prime Minister Bolojan announced last week that he would not dismiss her in full scandal, saying that “this is not the time to change horses in the middle of the water”.
The Minister of USR rejected the accusations and reacted by stating that PSD’s request has “another substrate”reminding that a decision is coming regarding the restructuring of Romsilva. Diana Buzoianu said that she will not resign and that political pressures will not cause her to give up her mandate. The minister claims that the real responsibility for the water situation lies at the local level, where information and decisions have been mismanaged.
The drinking water crisis began on October 28, 2025, after the partial emptying of the Paltinu dam for de-clogging work, followed by torrential rains that led to the increase of turbidity above permissible limits. The water supply was temporarily suspended in numerous localities in Prahova and in one in Dâmbovița county, affecting more than 107,000 people. Industries and companies that depended on this source were forced to drastically reduce consumption or temporarily shut down.
