Executive president of the ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD) and Prime minister Viorica Dancila announced that Eugen Nicolicea will be PSD's proposal for the position of Justice Minister replacing Tudorel Toader.
Premier Dancila said on Wednesday, at the end of PSD's Executive Committee that Tudorel Toader "made a mistake when he said he would do many things and did not finalise them."
"In my opinion, I believe there has been a lot of talk about justice and I think Tudorel Toader made a mistake when he said he would do very many things and did not finalise them," Dancila affirmed.
Justice Minister Tudorel Toader says he didn't ask the Premier to give him a time to consider whether he should resign office because the head of the Executive didn't request his resignation.
"Let me make this clear. I did not ask Ms. Prime Minister for time to consider my resignation, since she didn't request my resignation. The subject was left for discussion tomorrow morning at 9:30," Toader wrote on Wednesday on Facebook.
