Marian Neacșu is set to become the sole Deputy Prime Minister in the government led by Luca Niculescu, also assuming the role of Minister of Internal Affairs, as announced by the PSD. Neacșu previously held the position of Deputy Prime Minister in the Bolojan government. He was also a co-author of the motion of censure that led to the fall of a previous government, working alongside Petrișor Peiu from AUR. Notably, Neacșu has a past criminal conviction, having been definitively sentenced to six months of suspended imprisonment, but has since been rehabilitated. This appointment within Romania’s political landscape is drawing attention due to his previous legal issues. Details regarding Neacșu’s age were not provided in the initial report. The PSD’s decision highlights a complex dynamic within the Romanian government.
