Sorin Mihai Cîmpeanu is a former Minister of Education in the Ponta IV government and acting Prime Minister for 12 days in November 2015. He was a founding member of Pro Romania and joined NLP earlier this year. His name is linked to several scandals related to false diplomas and plagiarized doctorates such as the Ponta, Oprea or Baranga cases.

Sorin Mihai Cîmpeanu graduated from the “Sf. Sava” National College in Bucharest, after which he attended the Faculty of Land Improvement and Environmental Engineering, Bucharest University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine (USAMV), from whom he was rector since 2012.

As of 2012, he was general secretary of the National Council for the Certification of Degrees, Diplomas and University Certificates (CNATDCU), corresponding member of the Academy of Agricultural and Forest Sciences “Gheorghe Ionescu Sisesti”, corresponding member of the Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences and vice president. of the Romanian National Committee for the International Hydrological Program (CIHR).

Former Pro Romania founders Daniel Constantin and Sorin Cîmpeanu were received in early January 2020 in NLP, and held leadership positions. “They made this decision to come to the NLP and not get lost in the doors of the PSD, like others,” said Ludovic Orban about the parliamentarians who left Victor Ponta’s party and were received in the NLP.

Ponta’s plagiarism

We remind you that 2012 is the year in which the CNATDCU decided that Victor Ponta plagiarized his doctoral thesis, but the institution was reorganized the same day by decision of the then acting Minister of Education, Liviu Pop. Pop increased the number of members of the Council General of CNTADCU from 21 to 44, being the moment in which Sorin Cîmpeanu appeared in the General Council of CNATDCU.

Sorin Mihai Cîmpeanu publicly supported Victor Ponta in the campaign for the presidential elections.

Plagiarism of General Oprea

Cîmpeanu then became Minister of Education in December 2014, being proposed and supported in the education portfolio in the Ponta government by the former leader of the PC, now Liberal, Daniel Constantin.

The Ministry of Education led by Sorin Cîmpeanu initiated a controversial Emergency Ordinance that granted amnesty for plagiarists and allowed doctors to renounce the title. Subsequently, parliamentarians voted against this emergency ordinance.

In the case of the plagiarism accusations made against Gabriel Oprea at the time he held the post of interim prime minister, the Ethics Council subordinate to Sorin Cîmpeanu delivered a verdict in record time, saying that Oprea did not plagiarize, despite evidence clear.

The scandal of false diplomas, the Baranga case

In October 2020, Cîmpeanu, as president of the National Council of Rectors, proposed the establishment of a Single Integrated National Registry of Diplomas and Studies (RUNIDAS) issued by Romanian educational units and institutions. The proposal came in the context of the scandal of the false diplomas of the former president of the National Office for the Prevention and Fight against Money Laundering, Laurenţiu Baranga, who became a doctoral supervisor at the University of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences. (USAMV), whose rector is Sorin Cîmpeanu.

The Court of Appeal annulled Baranga all the documents on which he had built both his academic and administrative career. For four years, from the judgment of the Court of Appeals in June 2016 until Baranga was arrested on October 10, no state institution seemed to know that his entire professional past was built on a false sea. wrote Emilia Șercan for PressOne.
