Snagov review: Who leaves the Government and who stays?

31 aug 2010 Autor: Iulian Anghel

The Boc 4 Cabinet could undergo its first reshuffle today, after the premier presents a review of the ministers' eight months in office.

One last analysis was conducted at a Cotroceni meeting between the head of Government and President Traian Băsescu yesterday. The head of state will be present at tonight's meeting behind closed doors at Snagov Palace, which will bring together the Government and PDL (Democratic Liberal Party) parliamentary groups. This would be the third time in two months when Traian Băsescu presides over the meetings reuniting ministers, MPs and PDL leaders.
According to announcements made this summer by the head of state and the premier, what will count most heavily in the evaluation is how the ministers restructured the sectors they manage and how they have cut costs.
Over 10,000 jobs have been cut in ministries this summer as a result of the Government's plan to cut budget spending, but there are also ministries that failed to come up with reorganisation plans.
