Headline: Adrian Nastase: a premier in a hurry Source: Euromoney Date: January 2002 Author: Anna Hart Adrian Nastase, the prime minister of Romania and Social Democratic Party leader, has been described as “a proactive politician”. During a recent trip to the UK, he explained that positive action is his priority.
Fresh from his latest round of talks with UK foreign minister Jack Straw about Romania’s accession to Nato, he bounded into a hotel room to talk to Euromoney, crammed in more views on Romania’s economic reform than one might imagine could be squeezed into 15 minutes and was on to his next appointment. Any thoughts of slipping in a few final questions as we were escorted outside were swiftly quashed when we saw the besuited security guards at the door. Nastase is the new leader and fresh face of the Social Democratic Party (PSD). |
