When Mr. Dorin Recean announced that he no longer wished to serve as prime minister, we gathered with several colleagues from PAS and discussed what the profile of the next prime minister should be.
She added that the economic orientation of the head of government became a priority due to the difficult economic situation in the country. "We considered several candidates and decided that Mr. Munteanu best met these criteria. I contacted him, and he subsequently gave his consent," the president noted.
Sandu also said that she has known Munteanu since the 90s and has followed his career path, describing him as a person with extensive managerial and life experience.
