Korodi will be sworn in Tuesday evening at the presidential palace.
Earlier Tuesday, the Hungarian minority party UDMR, part of Romania’s ruling coalition, nominated MP Attila Korodi for the position of environment minister which remained vacant after the resignation of Laszlo Borbely. Korodi said the environment ministry will be “organized in good conditions” and the governing program will be carried out.
In early April, Laszlo Borbely resigned after a two-hour talk with Prime Minister Mihai Razvan Ungureanu regarding the corruption accusations he is facing.
