On October 1, Romania’s President Traian Basescu sigend the decrees dismissing Interior Minister Nica and appointing Blaga for interim interior minister.

Nica said on October 5 his dismissal from the headship of the Interior Ministry and the appointment of democrat liberal Development Minister Vasile Blaga as interim interior minister were achieved with two illegal decrees issued by the head of state.

Nica added the interim Government led by Emil Boc functioned illegally as the decree which overthrew him from the leadership of the Interior Ministry used the term revocation, while the decree appointing Blaga as interior minister used the term dismissal. Nica said the two terms differ according to the law on ministers’ liability, in the way that revocation entails naming a tenurial minister and not an interim one.
