PM Ponta Will Resume Its Activity "Within a Maximum of 28 Days"

Prime Minister Victor Ponta is going to resume his activity as head of the Government within maximum 28 days, informs a release of the Government on Sunday sent to Agerpres.

"The doctors decided that the Prime Minister Victor Ponta can be released from hospital today [i.e. Sunday], but he must still see a specialist daily, for the next seven days.

"The complicated recovery process, including treatments and physical therapy, will take at least 14 days, which means that within maximum 28 days the head of the Executive will be able to resume his normal activity at the Victoria Palace [the Government office].

"The Government activity, however, won't be affected until then, as the Prime Minister will transfer all his responsibilities for the needed time of his recovery to the Deputy PM Gabriel Oprea; he reassured the Romanian citizens that he will return to work in the shortest while possible", the Government announced.

The PM will also notify President Klaus Iohannis on Monday with respect to the appointment of Deputy PM Gabriel Oprea as interim PM for a maximum of 45 days, based on the article 107, paragraph (3) of the Romanian Constitution.

Deputy Prime Minister Gabriel Oprea has been in charge of Prime Minister's tasks over June 16-19.

The Prime Minister took this decision because of the "knee surgery he underwent in a hospital in Turkey early this week", it is said in the press release cited by Agerpres.
