PM Grindeanu, at first Gov't meeting: Campaing is over, we have already begun working

Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu told the ministers of his Cabinet in the beginning of the first meeting of the new Government that they must "roll up their sleeves" and start working. 

"The campaign is over, we have already rolled up our sleeves and started working," Grindeanu said. 

The Government meeting began round 21:15. 

"Today we have two points (...) on the agenda. A draft law enabling the Government to issue ordinances and an emergency ordinance draft establishing some new measures in the central public administration area and for the modification and addition of some normative acts. There are things absolutely necessary in order to function properly as a government and secondly in order to give Parliament the possibility to adopt this draft law in the coming days. (...) We have all approvals for the two," Sorin Grindeanu said. 

He was accompanied up to the meeting room door by Social Democratic Party (PSD) Chairman and Deputies' Chamber Speaker Liviu Dragnea, and Alliance of Liberals and Democrats and Senate President Calin Popescu Tariceanu. The two wished the new PM success. 

At the same time, when asked what he feels upon the installment of the new government, Dragnea replied: "Very much hope."
