Vasile Blaga

Vasile Blaga

Vasile Blaga (b. July 26, 1956) is a Romanian politician. A member of the Democratic Party, he was the Minister of Administration and Interior in the first Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu government (December 2004-March 2007).

Political career

Born in Petrileni, Bihor County, Blaga started his political career after the fall of Communism in Romania in 1989. He was a Member of Parliament in the Romanian Chamber of Deputies, representing Bihor County, between 1990 and 1991, after which he became the Prefect of Bihor, serving until 1993.

Following the legislative elections of 1996, he became a member of the Romanian Senate from the Democratic Party, representing Bihor County. He was reelected in the 2004 elections for the Justice and Truth Alliance, of which the Democratic Party was a member, representing Bucharest (where he presently resides). Blaga was appointed as the Minister of Administration and Interior Affairs later in the same year.

In 2008, he became one of the candidates for the position of mayor of Bucharest from the Democrat-Liberal Party, thus replaceing actual mayor Adriean Videanu, who didn't want to compete for a second term.

He earned second place in the first round of the elections, trailing independent Sorin Oprescu. For the second round, he gained the support of Gigi Becali's New Generation Party [ [http://alegerilocale2008.ro/emain/articolul/806227/Becali-tine-cu-Blaga/ "Becali ţine cu Blaga"] , in "Evenimentul Zilei", 3 June 2008] and of the Social Democrat mayor Bucharest's Sector 2, Neculai Onţanu.
