Remus Vulpescu, former head of the OPSPI (The Office For The State's Interests and Industrial Privatization), currently an advisor to the Minister of the Economy, Daniel Chiţoiu, kindly visited our newsroom and answered many questions about his brief stint as head of the OPSPI.
The interview lasted over four hours and broached issues such as the failed privatization of Oltchim, private management, the situation of energy resources, the insolvency of Hidroelectrica and the relationship with Franklin Templeton.
Whereas in the first part, we have reproduced his opinions on the failed privatization of Oltchim, in the second part we will approach topics such as private management, the insolvency of Hidroelectrica or the country's energy resources.
We invite you to read the "saucy" interview, which bears the specific touch of Mr. Vulpescu.
* "At < Transelectrica >, I would like to go in with a scalpel"
* "It is hard to fail when what you're doing is attempting not to implement private management"
Reporter: Mr. Remus Vulpescu, are you still the head of the OPSPI or not? You recently said that you don't know whether the minister of the Economy, Daniel Chiţoiu, has accepted your resignation.
Remus Vulpescu: I am no longer the head of the OPSPI. I resigned, and the news of the resignation was published in the press.
Recently, in a rather heated televised debate I have announced that I was not officially told whether the minister has accepted my resignation or not.
The resignation is a unilateral act of will. But the resignation which leads to the exemption from any kind of responsibilities, even if it is not mandatory to be accepted before it starts creating legal effects, is done through an agreement, based on a discussion, so that those responsibilities can be taken over by someone else.
