Minister for Business Environment, Commerce and Entrepreneurship, Florin Jianu, announced, on Thursday morning, his resignation of the government on his Facebook page.

“I end here my government activity because that is what my conscience commands, and that is not negotiable for nothing in the world!!!” wrote the minister. “I prepared this message in the evening with famous government meeting [Tuesday, January 31, e.n.], but I have postponed this decision hoping that good thought or at least the pressure from the street will push those who made a conceptually mistake, as well as those who acted – to have the honor to fix their ‘error’, so that we can peacefully continue our work. If they did not do it for two days, maybe this example will be useful for them”. explained Florin Jianu.

In his Facebook post, Jianu also mentions some highlights of his 28 days minister mandate: “I managed to pass several laws to support business (Program Romania Start-up Nation, Internationalization Program for SMEs, the Regulations for the Granting the Business Incubator title, 0% tax for CDI etc), I have built a solid 2017 budget, with significant increases for financing entrepreneurs (about 2 billion lei, ten times more money for programs than in 2016), a budget ready to be implemented and, not least, I managed a first for post-revolutionary Romania: a ministry of Entrepreneurship”.
