The USR is demanding the emergency intervention of Prime Minister Nicolae Ciucé after an “orchestrated contest” for Alexandru Stenescu, brother of PSD de Olt baron Paul Stenescu, who became head of the Regional Development Agency of South-West Oltenia and owner of more than 1.2 billion euros. The USR accuses the PNL-PSD of undermining the decentralization results of the POR in the Southwest Oltenia region.

“The brother of the tractor driver Paula Stenescu, Alexandru Stenescu, an unknown agricultural engineer, without any experience in managing European funds, becomes the head of the Regional Development Agency of Southwest Oltenia in our contempt, the Romanians and in contempt. European Commission.

In order to avoid unpleasant surprises, as happened with the head of ANRE, and for the brother of Baron PSD de Ault to finally receive an important position, the competition was not organized, as provided for in the Regional Development Law no. 315/2004, but only the stages of file selection (held on September 6) and interview (held today) were completed. The so-called competition committee was formed by employees of the main barons of the five districts that make up the Regional Development Council of the South-West Oltenia region, henchmen of the much stronger PSD baron Paul Stenescu,” USR accuses in a press release.

They testify to the fact that everything related to work experience in the field of European funds has been removed from the conditions of participation – conditions that, by the way, are also present in all other competitive positions.

“So, an incompetent, who does not know any foreign language and who is also called an illegal, will divide the 1.2 billion euros related to the ROP South-West Oltenia for the period 2021-2027, money allocated for investments in the South-West region Vest Oltenia through 8 program priorities:

P1 – Competitiveness through innovation and dynamic enterprises

P2 – Digitization for the benefit of citizens and companies

P3 – Energy efficiency and green infrastructure

P4 – Sustainable urban mobility

P5 – Accessibility and connectivity at the regional level

P6 – Modern and inclusive education

P7 – Sustainable territorial development

P8 – Technical assistance,” the press release also states.
