June 14 (SeeNews) - The decision-making body of Romania's ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD) will meet on Wednesday to assess the government's performance and decide on a possible cabinet reshuffle, PSD leader Liviu Dragnea has said.
"The evaluation is finalised and we are currently working on the conclusions of the assessment. Following the conclusions we could shuffle some members of the government, we could just change the way documents circulate between ministries or we could adopt other measures," Dragnea said on Tuesday night in a televised statement broadcast by Digi 24 station.
"We will see, we will have an open discussion on this in the committee," Dragnea added ahead of an extraordinary sitting of the national committee of left-wing PSD.
The ministers' activity will be evaluated considering their adherence to the governance programme of left-wing PSD, which was at the core of the party's campaign for the regular general election held on December 11.
PSD won 221 of a total of 463 seats in the two houses of parliament in the election. After the vote, with the help of centre-right coalition partner Liberal-Democrat Alliance (ALDE), PSD got a comfortable majority of 250 seats.
The last government reshuffle took place in February, when prime minister Sorin Grindeanu replaced four cabinet ministers following resignations prompted by mass protests against a government decree that would have eased or scrapped penalties for corruption offences committed by public officials.
Grindeanu was appointed prime minister by president Klaus Iohannis on December 30.
