Life

Dăncilă studied engineering in Ploieşti from 1983 to 1988 with a focus on oil production. She worked as an engineer in crude oil and gas production and as a lecturer at Videle 's industrial high school . From 2004 to 2006 she studied political and administrative sciences at the Școala Națională de Studii Politice și Administrative in Bucharest , where she obtained her master’s degree.

In 1996 she became a member of the social democratic party Partidul Social Democrat (PSD). Between 2000 and 2003 she was chairwoman of the PSD women's association Videle and from 2003 to 2011 chairwoman of the PSD local association Videle. From January 21, 2009 to January 28, 2018 Dăncila was a member of the European Parliament , and Gabriela Zoană took her place on January 30, 2018 .

After the resignation of Prime Minister Mihai Tudose in January 2018, Dăncilă was proposed by the PSD as the new Prime Minister. On January 29, 2018, she was elected as the first woman to this office by the majority of the Chamber of Deputies . On October 10, 2019, the Dăncilă cabinet was voted out of parliament by a vote of no confidence. Until a new government takes office, Dăncilă continues to run the business on a provisional basis. On October 15, 2019 , President Klaus Johannis commissioned PNL chairman Ludovic Orban to form a new cabinet . Shortly afterwards, she ran in the presidential election against Johannis, but was clearly defeated, and then resigned from the party leadership. The office was temporarily taken over by Marcel Ciolacu , who was also President of the House of Representatives.

reception

After the PSD's election victory at the end of 2016, Dăncilă took office as the third head of government within seven months. Her two predecessors Sorin Grindeanu and Mihai Tudose were ousted by internal power struggles. Dăncilă was considered loyal to the PSD party leader Liviu Dragnea, who was imprisoned for corruption .

During her two terms as MEPs, Dăncilă ranked 700 out of 751 MEPs in attendance at European Parliament sessions.

Dăncilă was accused of inexperience and lack of education. In an interview with Digi 24 , she referred to Iran and Pakistan as EU member states. During a state visit to Montenegro , she mistook the capital Podgorica for Kosovo's capital Pristina .
