Is a new Communications Minister needed?

Autori: Magraon Andreea , Adrian Stefan Seceleanu 02.09.2010

Gabriel Sandu, an economist with experience in the furniture and agriculture fields, whom the Democratic Liberal Party (PD-L) in December 2008 put in the position of minister in a entirely new field, that of communications and information technology, is likely to be one of the government members to be changed during this month, according to several sources close to the ruling party.
Are there reasons for replacing, or, on the contrary, maintaining Gabriel Sandu in the current position? The opinions of politicians, businesspeople and employers' associations differ when assessing Sandu's activity.


People supporting Gabriel Sandu say a change would endanger eRomânia project.
On the other hand, the idea of keeping Gabriel Sandu at the helm of the Communications Ministry just to the end of not taking the projects he started at the ministry from scratch with a different minister does not seem a strong enough argument for other businesspeople or politicians.
Gabriel Sandu stated at the beginning of this week that he would explain to PD-L MPs asking for his resignation that "all the objectives he assumed have been achieved".
