Liberal Ion Fantefan, Minister of Public Works, Development and Administration, is one of the most controversial members of Orban’s cabinet, both for his actions reminiscent of the PSD period and for his monumental mistakes.
Since his installation in the richest ministry in Romania, Ion Ştefan has managed in a very short time to achieve what those who attacked when he was in the opposition did not do it in years, namely, the promotion of relatives and relatives in key positions. , the so-called nepotism, which demonstrated in Romania after December as one of the classic manifestations of the phenomenon of corruption. Thanks to the political support that he enjoys in the center, it is true that, as a result of the good results in the European parliamentary and presidential elections, Ion Ştefan managed to impose his people on state institutions, something for which he was strongly criticized, but also Ironically by political rivals.
Therefore, the first to arrive in Bucharest immediately after the Orban Government installation was his son-in-law, Jan Florin Vasilache (photo), a young veterinarian, anointed personal advisor to the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. He had access to the cabinet of the direct minister from the position of debutant counselor in the Vrancea Health-Veterinary and Food Safety Directorate, noting, probably, by the constant presence in electoral campaigns together with his godfather.
Another example of nepotism is the promotion of the wife of his first sister, Dorina Stefan, to the position of director of the Agency for Payments and Intervention for Agriculture (APIA). She was appointed in February, and until then had only held a single position as a counselor at the institution, with no administrative experience. The local press also announces the imminent appointment of the husband of the new director of APIA, that is, his cousin Nicolae Ştefan, to the head of the Command Center of the Unit to Combat the Falls Hail Moldova 2 Vrancea.
Perhaps the most controversial promotion is that of his nephew, Sergiu Marian Bordea, in the position of director of the Galaţi Regional General Directorate of Public Finance, which is subordinate to the Tax Office and customs of Galaţi, Brăila, Vrancea, Tulcea, Brăila, Constanţa counties. Until April, Bordea was a simple customs inspector. His wife works for one of the companies of Deputy Ion Ştefan. The new director of the regional tax office was also on the NLP lists in the Milcovul commune in the 2016 elections.
Also during the pandemic, in early May, another close friend of the Minister of Public Works was appointed director of the CFR Galati Regional. This is Sorin Mihăilescu, brother-in-law of Ion Ştefan, also a member of PNL, who until then had served as head of the traffic regulator for CFR Adjud.
And the series of imposition of family members in important positions will not stop here. According to our information, as of May 15, Electrica Furnizare will have a new director, in the person of Ionuţ Lăţcan, no less than the first cousin of Minister esposatefan’s wife.
If the family enjoyed his undivided attention, Ion forgettefan did not forget his closest party colleagues who helped him with the successful results of the Vrancea County elections, who awarded him the position of minister as a prize. From this point of view, the politicization of public institutions has been done with great speed, today there are very few bewildered institutions that do not have liberal leaders.
It is due to Ion Ştefan the appointment of Gheorghiţă Berbece as prefect of Vrancea County. The current prefect of Vrancea (photo below) was a parliamentary adviser in the office of deputy Ion fantefan before becoming the representative of the Government in the territory and the good relationship between the two is notorious.
Another liberal leader, NLP Vrancea First Vice President, Pompiliu Norocel Stroe, was also promoted with the help of Ion Ştefan as secretary of state at the Ministry of Administration and Interior, where he brought in personal adviser Iulian Berbece, Jr. the prefect, until then assistant police chief in the commune of Vulturu.
The proof that nothing is moving up front in NLP Vrancea without Ion Ştefan is the controversial promotion in the position of director of the Vrancea Public Health Directorate, in such an epidemiologically difficult period, of Cătălin Bunghez.
He is a dentist in a commune of Vrancea and the special quality for which he was honored with this position is related to the fact that he is the lover of the local NLP councilor, Ana Maria Laura Dimitriu (left photo), who, at his Once, he was on a step to be appointed to run the St. Pantelimon Emergency Hospital in Focsani. The NLP councilor (photo below) is considered the minister’s right hand in Focsani, and in the 2019 European parliamentary elections, where she was ranked 15 on the liberal list, Ion Ştefan lent her 1.5 million lei to support the electoral campaign. .
He recovered his money in full from the subsidy offered to political parties from the state budget. Also at DSP, he was appointed deputy director with a party card, the dentist Dragoş Cozma, and the recent competitions organized by the institution in a state of emergency materialized with the employment of numerous NLP members. Politicization and nepotism also represent the appointment of just one week by dentist Elena Codruţa Neagu, cousin of Prefect Aries, as director of the Focşani Emergency Hospital, a unit where a Covid-19 outbreak is evolving.
Other family members of the minister appointed for leadership positions are Professor Daniela Marchitan, Deputy Inspector General of IŞJ Vrancea, Nicu Tănase, NLP President Focşani and local councilor in Focşani, appointed director of the Romanian Highway Authority, adviser Florin Nedelcu County Commissioner, appointed The Vrancea State Inspectorate for the Control of Road Transport (ISCTR), Dan Emanuel Stoican, appointed head of the Vrancea Representation of the Romanian Vehicle Registry (RAR). The political appointments are also those of Ocolul Silvic Focşani, where Petrică Tudosă was appointed director, to the Directorate of Veterinary Health and Food Safety, where director Liberal Cristi Mihai is director. All of them, but also others that do not come to mind now or that will be promoted in the next period, have publicly acknowledged, thanks, thanks to the fact that they were helped by Ion Ştefan.
The Vrancea team of the Ministry of Public Works.
Since becoming head of the ministry controlled by Liviu Dragnea during the PSD period, the liberal Ion Ştefan has sent several public signals about the depoliticization of the institution he runs.
“I would like to have a message for the employees of the ministry. They will find support in me as long as their number one priority is to work for the benefit of the taxpayer. Those who have been screwed to the structures of the Ministry, through the PCR system: files, Knowledge and relationships, you are invited to look for work elsewhere. My goal is competence and efficiency, “said Ion Ştefan, upon assuming his mandate as Minister of Public Works and Development.
The result: in the six months since he headed this ministry, politicization has continued with even greater force, bringing family members from the party. From Focsani alone, Ion Ştefan brought five important party members to the ministry. These are NLP county councilor Liviu Bostan, who worked in the ministry’s Control Corps, local councilwoman Alina Ramona Drumea (photo), employed in the minister’s office, Simona Costea, who was also a councilor in the parliamentary cabinet and who is the daughter of an employee of his company, Andreea Patricia Gălăţeanu, a former manicurist, was appointed counselor in the office of a secretary of state for her and former journalist Iulia Creţu, who deals with the communication part.
The NLP rewarded its people with the position of secretary of state in the ministry led by Ion Ştefan, who, in turn, brought his family members closer to the party to the ministerial cabinets they lead. At first glance, I counted 27 new people brought by liberals to the richest state ministry, which we present below.

By Wednesday, Minister Ion Stefan announced that he will thoroughly reorganize the ministry he leads, boasting something that seems impossible. “Almost all ministry employees will be required to participate in the competition. All ministry positions will be entered into competition. There were 1,020 ministry positions, 765 positions will remain. This does not mean that 765 employees will remain in the ministry. We can stop next. I want open competition, so that public opinion can participate. I made the decision to reorganize the ministry because it was politicized. There is not the slightest question that this ministry has not been 100% politicized, even those who say they have remained since X or Y moment, meanwhile, they have faded or painted and we don’t know exactly where and how they came from, “Ion Ştefan announced on Facebook.
Minister Beam’s Mistakes
Ion fantefan also caught the attention of the press through his monumental mistakes. She became a “star” from the first day of her ministry, after she was accused of not paying her tax at the 900-square-meter house in Focsani, about which she stated that she had made such a big mistake.
“I’m not a pretentious kid like that. I don’t think I went upstairs to the attic twice a year, it’s true, the builder made a mistake and the attic came out on the first floor. But, that’s the way life is, he just wasn’t tearing down his house I wanted a big house, I had to pay, “explained Ion Ştefan.
Ulerior, it turned out that the house was 500 square meters, and for 15 years he paid taxes for less than 100 square meters, defrauding the local budget with large sums of money, facts that were prescribed. After the incident, he was nicknamed the Minister “Beam”.
Furthermore, at a government meeting, the Minister of Regional Development, Ion fantefan, he struggled for seconds to pronounce the word “PNDL”, acronym for the National Program for Local Development.
In fact, any televised appearance means as many errors of expression, as was the public appearance on Realitatea TV, where lIberral complained that the laptops in the Development Ministry are too small, and characterized the employees at least strangely, namely that they have CNPs, hands, eyes and feet.
“What I do not understand, what I do not understand and it is difficult for me to accept and I speak with my colleagues, with people in the ministry who are people, they have CNP and they are people like us with their hands and feet, with their eyes and not they have a problem, they are born or they are born, they come to work, they wake up in the morning. We have had lately, given this emergency situation, we work a lot in teleworking, we work a lot from a distance, etc. And we ask to increase the rate of implementation of the project, sign up, invest to streamline, help ATU, entrepreneurs, people who want to invest in Romania. And I called the entire management team to the regional operational program and from the discussions came the problem that they don’t have laptops, that laptops are very small and that their computers are small again, obsolete, etc., “said the Minister of Development to reality.
His 2016 statements, when Ion Ştefan ran for the Focsani City Council, remain memorable, and say that up to that point the heads of administration were demolishing the industry in the county, first cited in the list is his father in law, Nicolae Lăţcan, who was mayor of Focsani for 8 years. At the same time, he proclaimed himself mayor for a few hours, after inviting the press at the end of the elections. saying he won in front of his opponent by at least ten percent. At the time, his electoral victory seemed like a mere formality.
This year, before the outbreak of the pandemic, Ion Ştefan officially established himself as a NLP candidate for the post of mayor of the municipality of Focşani, a dignity that he desires more than the position he currently holds.
Ion Fantefan is 50 years old, an electromechanical engineer by profession and a native of Milcovul, Vrancea commune. He has been a member of NLP for six years, and since December 2016 has been a Member of Parliament in the Romanian Parliament. Ion Ştefan owns, together with his brother, the Balkan group of companies, which operates in the field of plastic packaging manufacturing, the largest company in the country. He is the father of three children of 10, 12 and 22 years. He is the son-in-law of Nicolae Laţcan, a member of the Police Department and a former mayor of Focşani until 2000.
