“A mistake that embarrasses me”

In the summer of 2025, Ionuț Moșteanu, deputy USR from Argeș and deputy prime minister in the current Executive, was appointed Minister of National Defense.

From the position of leader of the MApN, Moșteanu promised the revolution at Steaua Bucharest, a club subordinate to the Ministry. He appointed a new commanderPetruț-Dănuț Sârghe-Ciobanu, whom he tasked to bring “reorganization, reform and results”, in the hope that “we will professionalize the way the CSA works”. Thus, some supporters of Stella they hoped the football team wouldfinally, the steps necessary for promotion to the first league.

The minister who wants to bring Steaua back to League 1, publicly challenged after

Now, Moșteanu's position is strongly contested by civil society, in the context of the disclosures made by Libertatea. Specifically, a first official CV that Moșteanu declared, at the time he was a member of TAROM's Board of Directors, contained studies at the Athenaeum University, which Moșteanu claimed that he followed her between 1996 and 2000.

Problem? That university later relayed that “Mr. Moșteanu Liviu-Ionuț was never a student at the University“! In an updated version of his CV, published once he became a parliamentarian, Moșteanu went on to study, between 1996 and 1999, at the Bioterra University in Bucharest.

On social networks, Ionuț Moșteanu presented his engineering degree obtained in 2015 at the respective University, field of economic engineering, specialization in managerial engineering.

He claimed that he started his studies there in the late 90s, but that “it was not a priority for me then to get my degree”, claiming that “I never needed the degree in private jobs and entrepreneurship”.

How did Moșteanu justify that inconsistency? “In a CV made in 2016 at speed on a model on the net there was a mistake that I admit embarrasses me. I didn't pay much attention to these details at the time. For that I apologize.”
