Three months after the investiture of the Party of Social Democracy (PDSR) Government, the press started running stories about alleged differences regarding the fiscal policy, between PM Adrian Nastase and Finance minister Mihai Tanasescu.
Consequently, Tanasescu was allegedly considering the possibility of giving up his ministerial position. Adrian Nastase was quick to dismiss the rumour, as was the general secretary of PDSR. Mihai Tanasescu denied he had any intention of resigning. He is currently in Davos, attending a business forum.
