biography

Boc studied history, philosophy and law at the Babeş-Bolyai University Cluj in Cluj-Napoca (Klausenburg) . He started an academic career and received his PhD in 2000.

At the end of the 1990s, Emil Boc shifted the focus of his activities to the political field. In 2003 he became a member of the leadership of the Partidul Democrat ( Democratic Party ). He was mayor of Cluj-Napoca from the 2004 local elections to early 2009 . In the summer of 2005, Boc became chairman of the Partidul Democrat, whose exit from the Socialist International he also pursued, as well as joining the European People's Party in 2006.

After the merger of his party with the Partidul Liberal Democrat ( Liberal Democratic Party ) under Theodor Stolojan , he took over the party chairmanship of the newly founded Partidul Democrat Liberal ( Democratic Liberal Party ) in December 2007 .

As a result of the parliamentary elections in 2008 , from which his party emerged victorious together with the social democratic PSD , Emil Boc was tasked with forming a government on December 15, 2008 after the PD-L top candidate Stolojan withdrew. On December 22, 2008, the Romanian parliament elected him as the new Prime Minister with 324 votes to 115.

On October 1, 2009, the PSD terminated the coalition with Bocs PD-L and withdrew all of its ministers from government. The background was a dispute over the Ministry of the Interior. Boc had pushed through the dismissal of the social democratic interior minister Dan Nica in order to fill the office with a party friend. Since the Ministry of the Interior was responsible for organizing the presidential elections in November 2009 , the PSD saw an attempt at election manipulation by Boc. Boc then continued his cabinet as a PD-L minority government.

On October 13, 2009, Emil Boc was expressed suspicion by parliament . The opposition PNL , which, together with the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania, had put in a vote of no confidence in Boc, then sought a transitional government under the politically independent politician Klaus Johannis . The state president Traian Băsescu , who is close to Boc and who has the right to propose the prime minister, rejected Johannis and nominated Boc as prime minister again after he won the presidential election on December 17th. Boc formed a government from PD-L and UDMR (see Cabinet Boc II ), which was ratified by parliament on December 23. This ended a month-long political crisis.

On December 20, 2010, a motion of no confidence against Boc failed in parliament, which was only supported by 190 instead of the required 236 MPs.

On February 6, 2012, Boc announced the resignation of his government. He justified the decision, which was announced at a cabinet meeting broadcast live on television, with the wish to "relax the political and social situation in the country".

In June 2012, Boc was re-elected Mayor of Cluj-Napoca.

The Michigan State University awarded him in 2012 the honorary doctorate .
