Constantin Matei, president of ANS: “One thing that does not thank me”
A week ago, Constantin-Bogdan Matei, the president of the National Sport Agency, was the guest of the show “Ovidiu's friends”.
“I want to be correct and to convey nothing but the case, because it does not characterize me. When I came back I found a ministry, from the point of view of the human resource, much weaker. And this, again, is one thing that doesn't thank me, because if you have fewer employees …”, Matei said in the GSP plateau.
Asked by the number of people expelled, Matei put “very much matter”. Then he detailed: “At the general level, when I left, I had 3,200 and some employees, today we have 2,562, something like that. We are talking about the total number of employees in Romania, on the 102 subordinates we have.”
