A hidden chocolate-making workshop within Romania’s Transport Ministry has ignited a conflict between former and current ministers, Radu Miruță and Sorin Grindeanu. Miruță revealed the existence of the workshop, which operated for years, including during Grindeanu’s tenure as minister. The current PSD leader, Grindeanu, criticized Miruță, arguing that the ministry should focus on building highways instead of supporting confectionery activities. He further accused Miruță of orchestrating the appointment of Cătălin Drulă as a replacement minister. The unusual discovery has become a point of political contention, highlighting differing priorities within the ministry. The situation raises questions about resource allocation and the focus of government institutions. This unexpected scandal has drawn public attention to the inner workings of the Romanian Transport Ministry.
