The changes that occurred at government level are raisingquestions as to the seriousness of the reshuffle and as to theintention of the head of government, Emil Boc, to choose a strongteam, able to face the long and difficult period ahead.
Public pressure on the Government was huge and the changes wereimminent, especially since they had been announced a long whileback. But then why was former Finance Minister Sebastian Vlădescuso surprised by his being replaced? What happened behind closeddoors and what is the likely lifespan of this new government?
Victor Ponta, leader of opposition party PSD (Social DemocraticParty) is no friend of Sebastian Vlădescu's and says it openly. Buthe notes, "It is nonsensical to change the finance minister onemonth before putting together the state budget and in the midst ofnegotiations with the IMF and the European Commission. I am not abig fan of Mr Vlădescu, but he is a good professional and was afinance minister who was working on something at the moment."
The questions about this new government were raised by the factthat, when you change something politically - and PDL (DemocraticLiberal Party) openly admits to needing to improve its image, youcome up with big names.
"I am concerned because the finance minister (the new financeminister Gheorghe Ialomiţianu i.e.) is an unknown. (...) You don'tconduct experiments in times of crisis," economic analyst AurelianDochia told Agence France Presse.
