Romania's new cabinet a step forward

The Prime Minister designate of Romania, Mihai Răzvan Ungureanu, has named his new cabinet without including a single minister under former prime minister Emil Boc. The parliament will vote on the new government today, Thursday. Commenting on the blog portal Hydepark.ro Mircean Marian is satisfied with the new cabinet: "It's a good thing that the [governing party] PDL has distanced itself from the team under Boc and taken the time to form a cabinet comprising young people who have  no problems with the Anti-Corruption Directorate DNA or the National Integrity Agency ANI. In some cases, like Interior and Finance posts, the differences with the predecessors are immediately obvious. However certain other names can only be viewed with extreme scepticism. ... Some of the new ministers have no experience whatsoever in the area of competence they are now responsible for, and it will take months before they can take the initiative. Nevertheless this cabinet is certainly an improvement on Boc's government."
