The swearing-in ceremony is held Wednesday evening, at the presidential Cotroceni Palace.
Romanian Prime Minister Florin Citu had proposed lawmaker Dan Vilceanu as finance minister. The proposal was voted on at the meeting of the ruling Liberal Party’s leadership, with 47 liberals voting in favor and one liberal voting against the proposal.
In July 2021, Florin Citu dismissed the then-finance minister Alexandru Nazare citing delays in the implementation of several important projects. Shortly after, Citu took on the role of interim finance minister himself.
Citu was Romania’s finance minister in 2019 and 2020 before becoming prime minister in December 2020.
