Manescu will be sworn in as minister at the Presidential Palace Monday at 3 p.m..
The Liberal Party nominated Manescu and MP Nini Sapunaru to the Transport portfolio Sunday and the propositions were presented to Prime Minister Victor Ponta, who nominated Manescu.
Manescu was born in Constanta in 1972 and has been a PNL member since 1990. She is also a member in the European Parliament, in the committee for regional development.
Former Transport minister Relu Fenechiu resigned in July after the High Court of Justice sentenced him to five years in prison for accessory to abuse of office. The Transport portfolio was taken over by Ponta in an interim capacity.
