Andrei Nistor resigned as prefect of Bucharest, criticizing the appointment of Marian Neacșu, a convicted individual, as Minister of Internal Affairs. His resignation is framed as a protest against perceived moral failings in the government. Nistor's departure follows a broader trend of USR officials losing positions after the new government was formed. Despite his claims of moral integrity, the constitutional process of replacing prefects is being overlooked. Nistor's tenure began in October 2025, and he was one of several USR prefects appointed during a coalition government. His resignation highlights USR's strategy of portraying themselves as victims in the political landscape.
