Romania's Energy Minister Razvan Nicolescu said he would lose his post on Sunday in a reshuffle that is expected to strengthen the governing centre-left coalition's hold on power by giving it another political ally in the cabinet, Reuters reported. Razvan Nicolescu, a widely respected technocrat who has no political affiliations and whose team drafted Romania's investment-heavy energy strategy for 2015-2035, took office in March. He told private television station Antena 3 on Sunday he was leaving the cabinet and that Prime Minister Victor Ponta planned to merge the energy and economy ministries.
