Political offices

Cîmpeanu supported Victor Ponta's candidacy in the 2014 presidential election . At the suggestion of the Partidul Conservator (PC), he was appointed Minister of Education and Science in the Ponta IV government on December 17, 2014 . Shortly after taking office, Cîmpeanu campaigned for an emergency ordinance that would allow holders of academic degrees who had plagiarized their dissertation to return their title without explanation, without having to expect further consequences (e.g. repayment of their scholarship). This was seen in connection with the plagiarism affair of the Prime Minister Ponta. The regulation was later rejected by Parliament.

After Prime Minister Victor Ponta and his government resigned as a result of the fire in a Bucharest night club and public protests against the perceived corruption of the government , President Klaus Johannis appointed Cîmpeanu as interim head of government. After 12 days in office, he was replaced by Dacian Cioloș as the new regular Prime Minister.

For the Alianța Liberalilor și Democraților (ALDE), in which the PC had meanwhile been absorbed, Cîmpeanu was elected to the Romanian Chamber of Deputies in the parliamentary election in December 2016 . In May 2017 he left the ALDE and joined the PRO România party of Victor Ponta and Daniel Constantin .
