Romanian president defends head prosecutor nominations despite public criticism

Romanian president Nicusor Dan claimed he is much better informed about the profiles of the candidates for the head and deputy prosecutor positions, annoying his supporters who on March 6 marched in front of the Presidency, requiring the head of state to reconsider the candidates proposed by the Social Democrat (PSD) minister of justice Radu Marinescu.

Unconfirmed sources familiar with the negotiations claimed that the candidates proposed by minister Marinescu are going to be cleared by president Dan, as reported by Epochtimes-romania.com.
