SUBJECT: YOUNG LIBERAL LEADER ELECTED SPEAKER OF THE 
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES 
 
REF: BUCHAREST 448 
 
 1.  (SBU) Summary:  Bogdan Olteanu, the ex-minister for 
relations with parliament, was elected March 20 President of 
the Romanian Chamber of Deputies, replacing former Prime 
Minister Adrian Nastase.  A curious coalition of deputies 
elected Olteanu in the first round, consisting of the parties 
of the coalition government minus the Conservative Party (PC) 
plus the extreme nationalist Greater Romania Party (PRM). 
The PC's refusal to endorse Olteanu,s candidacy sparked 
tensions inside the governing coalition, potentially 
indicating still more friction ahead.  In his acceptance 
speech, Olteanu pledged to strengthen the parliament, to 
introduce the uninominal vote, and to work closely with civil 
society groups.  Olteanu is a young, but long-standing member 
of the National Liberal Party (PNL) and a close advisor of PM 
Calin Popescu-Tariceanu.  End Summary. 
 
2. (SBU) On March 20, Bogdan Olteanu, the candidate of the 
governing PNL and Democratic Party (PD) Alliance became the 
president of the Chamber of Deputies. Olteanu was elected 
during the first round with 192 votes from PNL, PD, the 
ethnic Hungarian party (UDMR) and the extreme nationalist 
Greater Romania Party. His main challenger, the 
Social-Democratic Party (PSD) candidate Valer Dorneanu, 
garnered 88 votes.  The Conservative Party,s candidate 
Daniela Popa received only 22 votes.  Olteanu takes over from 
former PM and Chamber president Adrian Nastase who resigned 
from the position on March 14 after a vote of no confidence 
within his own party. 
 
3. (SBU) The election for the Chamber presidency sparked more 
tension among members of the governing coalition.  The 
Conservative Party, a junior member of the PNL-PD led 
government, refused to endorse the candidacy of Bogdan 
Olteanu and put forward its own candidate.  PD president Emil 
Boc reacted by declaring that this behavior placed PC 
"outside the governing coalition." Unconfirmed press reports 
alleged that, given the PC,s refusal, the PNL-PD negotiated 
support for Olteanu with the opposition PRM in exchange for a 
new location for PRM central headquarters.  However, leaders 
of the parties involved denied any secret agreement. 
 
4. (SBU) In his acceptance speech, Olteanu emphasized the 
importance of reform of the parliament, urging his colleagues 
to work together to change the Chamber of Deputies' bad 
public image.  He also pledged to accelerate the adoption of 
an Electoral Code and the introduction of the uninominal vote 
for electing members of parliament to replace the current 
"party list" proportional representation system. Olteanu also 
insisted on the necessity of "moral reform" in Romanian 
politics, including possible adoption of a lustration law to 
provide transparency and heal lingering scars from Romania's 
communist period.  He concluded by saying that the parliament 
should be more open to citizens and to civil society groups. 
He pledged personally to get out of his office more often to 
meet the people on the streets. 
 
5. (SBU) Bio note: Born in 1971, Bogdan Olteanu is the 
youngest president of the Chamber of Deputies in Romania's 
post-communist history. He is well and favorably known to the 
Embassy and is generally characterized as a reformer with 
close personal and political ties to Prime Minister Tariceanu 
(who is Olteanu's godfather).  In December 2004, he became 
one of the youngest ministers in the then new center-right 
government when he was appointed by Tariceanu to serve as 
minister delegate for relations with the parliament.  He 
resigned his government office on March 18 to prepare his bid 
for the presidency of the lower chamber.  Olteanu joined the 
PNL in 1991 and was the leader of the Liberal National Youth 
between 1998 and 2000.  Since 2002, he is the president of 
the PNL Honor and Arbitration Court.  In 1996-1997, he was a 
counselor to Tariceanu, then Minister of Industry and Trade, 
in the center-right government of the Romanian Democratic 
Convention.  One PNL Deputy describes Olteanu as "Tariceanu's 
gatekeeper" who plays a key role in taking items off the 
PM,s plate and resolving them himself. Olteanu has a law 
degree and is currently enrolled in a PhD program in 
philosophy.
