Romania Chamber of Deputies appoints new administrative leadership

The Romanian Chamber of Deputies has approved new administrative leadership, appointing Ioana Bran Voinea as Secretary General and Ioana Elena Pintilei as Deputy Secretary General. Bran Voinea was proposed by the PSD, while Pintilei was supported by AUR.

The appointments drew sharp criticism from the USR party. Representative Cătălin Drulă argued that the positions should have been filled by independent professionals, alleging that the move demonstrates a close collaboration between the PSD and AUR to capture state institutions.

In response, PSD representative Adrian Câciu emphasized the sovereignty of the forum, while AUR leader George Simion stated that as the second-largest party, it is normal for his party to be represented within parliamentary structures.
