Belu wants to resign from Romanian Ministry Post

Will Belu abandon his position...?
Former gymnastics coach Octavian Belu asked this month for permission to resign from the position of state secretary in the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the romaniantimes wrote.
Belu said it was impossible to work in a system that was "blocked and had no future."
Belu said he had not discussed his resignation with Prime Minister Emil Boc or with Youth and Sports Minister Monica Iacob Ritzi.  Boc said Belu’s request was not linked to Ritzi’s situation.
She faces possible prosecution for embezzlement and abuse of office, the online magazin romaniantimes wrote.
