PD-L finalised the new Cabinet list. Culture and Communications – the bone of contention 

LibDems have allegedly finalised the new Government list during Thursday night, party sources declared for HotNews.ro. They claim chances may occur during the PD-L Managing College. UDMR received the Health, Culture and Environment portfolios. According to the quoted sources, the new cabinet will have a vice-PM.

LibDems claim that they expect the Managing College to show discontent regarding the Culture and Communications ministries. Plus, for the Work Ministry, PD-L expects social-democrat Marian Sarbu’s decision. Should he decline the offer, the role will go to Mihai Seitan.

Having Gabriel Sandu as the head of the Communication Ministry os not carved in stone and serious debates are expected on the matter, sources say. At the same time, Lucian Croitiru declined the offer to head the Finance Ministry, his nomination having to be replaced with that of Sebastian Vladescu.
