The Fourth Ponta Cabinet was the government of Romania from 17 December 2014 to 4 November 2015. The Cabinet was supported by the Social Democratic Party, the National Union for the Progress of Romania and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats, the alliance forged by Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu's Liberal Reformist Party and Daniel Constantin's Conservative Party. Fourteen of the ministerial portfolios were held by PSD members, three by ALDE, two by UNPR and two by independent members (although Sorin Cîmpeanu was a member of PC). Unlike the previous cabinet, it contained only politically appointed ministers. The posts of deputy prime minister was abolished, with the UNPR leader Gabriel Oprea. In addition, eight ministerial portfolios were consolidated into four: * the Ministry of Scientific Research was absorbed by the Ministry of Education; * the Ministry of SMEs merged in the Ministry of Economy; * the Ministry of Water and Forests became part of the Ministry of Environment; * the Ministry for the Budget was included in the Ministry of Finance. The reshuffling of the Third Ponta Cabinet came after ministers from the Hungarian-minority party, UDMR, left the coalition and resigned from their respective ministries. Prime Minister Ponta decided to change the cabinet's image, which was affected by his loss in the presidential elections in November 2014 and a scandal involving voting procedures in the diaspora. The Opposition, headed by the PNL, announced a possible motion of censure after 1 February 2015, with President Klaus Iohannis supporting the effort to bring down the Ponta government. Iohannis also expressed support for a PNL-led government.. A no-confidence motion failed in September 2015, on a 207-276 vote. During the ceremony of taking the oath, outgoing president Traian Băsescu criticized two of the members of the new cabinet, Liviu Pop and Sorin, accusing them of contributing to the destruction of educational institutions, calling Ponta a liar and alluding to the plagiarism scandal that resulted in the Prime Minister surrendering his doctorate. == Structure == 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「Fourth Ponta Cabinet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
