No government reshuffle in sight, vice premier says after governing coalition meeting

Asked about the news that the ruling Social Democrat Party (PSD) is preparing the changing of foreign minister Cristian Diaconescu and education one, Ecaterina Andronescu, vice premier Dan Nica told journalists to wait another three years before such a move.

The former Liberal party which ruled the previous government until November last year reshuffled their Cabinet twice, once to oust Democrat partners (now PD-L) and then to change some other ministers. Now the Liberals are the opposition. 

Nica denied rumors SMEs minister Constantin Nita is in conflict with the premier Emil Boc. The recent words of Democrat Liberal Vasile Blaga, regional development minister, were only a test for the journalists’ sense of humor. 

The transportation minister Radu Berceanu said last night that the ruling Liberal Democrat Party (PD-L), sharing the executive power with the Social Democrats (PSD), will tackle inside the ruling coalition the recent criticism uttered by some of PSD ministers against the government’s measures.

Blaga criticized last week the statements of PSD leader Mircea Geoana and of some other Social Democrat ministers who attacked the Cabinet over the poll tax and other measures.
