Romanian Premier replaces about a third of Government Ministers

Romania’s Prime Minister Viorica Dăncilă shuffled the government and removed ministers who challenged Liviu Dragnea, the country’s de-facto leader, who emerged as the winner of a power battle within the party two months ago.

The premier named seven new ministers to take over the Economy, Communications, Defense, Development, Culture, Sports, Labor ministries and moved Lia Olguța Vasilescu to head the Transport Ministry as some of the ousted ministers were among the challengers to Dragnea’s leadership in September.
