BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) – Romania’s defense minister has resigned after suggesting there are insufficient funds to pay the salaries of service members and defense ministry employees.
Prime Minister Mihai Tudose said Tuesday he had accepted the resignation of Adrian Tutuianu after his comments provoked alarm.
After initially saying servicemen would get their salaries and other payments in installments, Tutuianu clarified his remarks, calling the problem a „technical” rather than financial one.
