Liviu Dragnea announced on Friday that he resigned from the position of minister of Regional Development and Public Administration, according to Mediafax. On Monday, at the PSD meeting, he will submit his mandate as executive president of the party, following the court’s decision to convict him in the “Referendum” file.
The minister of Development and Administration was sentenced to one year of probation in the case of fraud in the 2012 referendum for the dismissal of president Traian Basescu, Friday’s court decision not being final.
The person who will take the role of minister of Regional Development and Public Administration, vacant after the resignation of Liviu Dragnea, will be nominated after discussions with president Klaus Iohannis, said PM Victor Ponta.
