  • “Who needs to be changed? Vasyl, have you changed your mind? But who announced personnel changes? Governments are being reshuffled. The Prime Minister said, have you announced any changes in the UDMR?
  • I can’t promise you that there won’t be reshuffles, because it’s a natural thing. I told you that we have a topic that we talk about that no one has talked about. I did not speak on this topic and I see that Mr. Dynku is here with me and he has not been replaced. Why do we have to give an explanation?”, Çolaku continued, answering journalists’ questions about the possible reshuffle of the Minister of National Defense.

The leader of the SDP confirmed that the prime minister makes proposals for reshuffles.

  • “This coalition is working, and we are all trying to make it work properly. I said very clearly: first of all, the prime minister is a sign of the evaluation of ministers. I am only the co-president of the coalition.
  • A month ago, there was an assessment of ministers, where the prime minister did not make any proposal within the coalition regarding reshuffles.
  • When there will be a reshuffle, after this debate begins primarily with the Prime Minister, I firmly believe that no one will keep a secret, but what I said very clearly and correctly at the end: reshuffles are part of political life and from public life,” said the PSD leader.

Along with Marcel Čolaku, Vasile Dinku and Radu Moldovan, president of PSD Bistrita, who supported the current defense minister for this position, were also present at the conference.

In addition, Radu Moldovan intervened in the discussion, clarifying that he asked the party about the possibility of replacing Vasile Dynka:

  • “I also read in the media from sources that there are personnel reshuffles, and then I also asked the party if there are discussions about this now, I also called Yerevan Radio if something was discussed, and it seems that there was nothing discussed , so this is a topic that doesn’t exist at the moment. But no one can say that there will be no changes.”

The topic of government reshuffles returned to the public agenda after Vasile Dinku’s name appeared in the press as a reshuffle. PSD president Marcel Cholaku recently said that he is “firmly convinced that at some point there will be a reshuffle” but says that “no decision has been made with the prime minister at the moment” on the matter.

His statement came in the context of several reports in the press, according to which changes are being prepared at the level of the government team.

According to HotNews.ro’s sources from the Coalition, PSD and PNL are making their own political calculations and believe that the reshuffle of ministers “will take place sometime in the fall in September-October, depending on the development of social events and how the population will express itself.” their dissatisfaction with the evolution of prices.”
