Labour Minister Ioan Nelu Botiş yesterday resigned from hisposition, in the wake of the press scandal surrounding theinvolvement of his wife in a project funded with EU money managedby the ministry he used to run. He remains a PDL (DemocraticLiberal Party) MP, member of the Labour Committee of the Chamber ofDeputies.
With a mandate of less than eight months, Ioan Nelu Botiş hadone of the toughest missions at the helm of the Labour Ministry.The labour code is by far the biggest legislative project hecontributed to and that President Traian Băsescu promulgated.
"Minister Botiş was sent to deal with the trade unions,following the austerity measures enforced and the visits of the IMFofficials: He was a sort of a fullback in a rugby match. Heaccomplished his mission because during his mandate the new LabourCode was promulgated. As far as I am concerned (the new labour codei.e.) is a mixture of populism and conservatism that will lead tono good, because the workforce continues to be overtaxed inRomania," said Stelian Tănase, political analyst and professor atthe Faculty of Political Science of the Bucharest University.
