Cabinet reshuffles

The incumbent education minister Ioan Mang (PSD) had to resign one week after taking office because several plagiarisms are said to have been found in his scientific work. Before that, the politician Corina Dumitrescu , initially intended for the Ministry of Education, failed because she had given false information in her résumé. On June 19, 2012, the Romanian Supreme Court ruled that Minister of Culture Mircea Diaconu had to resign due to a conflict of interests. Prime Minister Ponta was confronted with allegations of plagiarism at the same time. He was accused of having copied large parts of his dissertation. Ponta is currently denying the allegations.

Cabinet reshuffle in August 2012

Interior Minister Ioan Rus initially confirmed the number of 18.2 million eligible voters after the referendum to vote out the suspended President Traian Băsescu , but a day later he no longer wanted to take responsibility for them. The Interior Ministry announced that it could not vouch for the correctness of its own information because the lists submitted by the municipalities may have been incorrect. On August 6, Rus resigned after government and opposition politicians had accused him of causing confusion in the country with contradicting information on the number of eligible voters. Rus said that by stepping down he was responding to “unacceptable criticism and pressure” to organize the referendum. He does not want to "participate in non-compliance with the law".

At the same time, Rus announced the resignation of the State Secretary and Minister Delegate for Administration, Victor Paul Dobre , for "personal reasons". Dobre was also charged with organizing the referendum. They were joined in the afternoon by the Minister Delegate for Relations with Entrepreneurs, Lucian Isar (non-party).

On the same day, Victor Ponta restructured other parts of his cabinet, a total of six ministers had to leave their departments. Foreign Minister Andrei Marga (PN-L) was replaced by the previous Minister of Justice, Titus Corlățean (PSD). The Justice Ministry should take over the judge Mona Pivniceru . At the moment she has not been sworn in due to official incompatibility. The Justice Minister duties are currently performed by Victor Ponta. The new Minister of the Interior was Mircea Dușa (PSD), and the new Minister for Relations with Parliament was Dan Șova (PSD). Radu Stroe (PN-L) became the new Minister for Administration and Mihai Voicu (PN-L) was the new Minister Delegate for Entrepreneurship.
