Neculai Onțanu (born September 13, 1949) is a Romanian politician currently serving as mayor of Bucharest's Sector 2. == Biography == Born in Pângărați, Neamț County, Onțanu worked as construction worker between 1968 and 1995, becoming a construction foreman on apartment buildings construction sites. In 1986, he was admitted as part-time learner in the Ștefan Gheorghiu Academy, the university which trained cadres of the Communist Party of Romania. After the Romanian Revolution, Onțanu joined the Socialist Party of Labour, becoming its vicepresident, as well as the president of the Bucharest organization. Between 1995 and 1996, he was a parliamentary expert at the Chamber of Deputies, while between 1996 and 2000, he was a member of the General Council of Bucharest.〔 He resigned from the party in May 1999 and joined the Party of Social Democracy in Romania.〔 Onțanu was the Party of Social Democracy in Romania's candidate during the 2000 local elections, which he won in the second round against Vladimir Popescu, the candidate of the Democratic Convention of Romania. He was re-elected in 2004 and 2008, being the candidate of the same Social-Democratic Party. In March 2007, Onțanu, who had not been active in the army beyond the mandatory military service, was promoted from being a first-class private to become a reserve colonel by an order of Minister of Defense Sorin Frunzăverde. In December 2008, he was promoted by President Băsescu to become a one-star brigade general. According to the CV published on the City Hall site, Onțanu gained in 2007 a PhD from the ''Leibniz University USA'', an obscure unaccredited institution of higher education from the United States. In 2009, Onțanu defended his PhD thesis titled "The Management of Protecting Critical Infrastructure" at the National Intelligence Academy under the supervision of Gabriel Oprea, a personal friend and leader of UNPR.〔 In 2015, a Hotnews investigation found that dozens of pages of his thesis were identical to pages from other books and journals.〔 On October 21, 2009, he was excluded from the Social-Democratic Party for publicly supporting Traian Băsescu for President of Romania. The following day, President Băsescu increased the military rank of Onțanu, who thus became a two-star major general. Onțanu joined the National Union for the Progress of Romania (UNPR) and in 2010 he was chosen to be the party's candidate for the Mayor of Bucharest elections, but later the party decided to support Sorin Oprescu. Also in 2010, in the internal elections of UNPR, Onțanu was elected President of the Bucharest organization. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neculai Onțanu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
