Consiliul de supraveghere CEO Oltenia condus de un candidat PSD la Parlament. A trecut prin partidul lui Ponta • Newsweek România

The Supervisory Board of CEO Oltenia is led by Luminița Georgeta Popescu, a former PSD candidate for Parliament. She has also been affiliated with Pro România and currently serves as the rector of the University of Brâncuși. CEO Oltenia, which produces over 95% of Romania's lignite, is facing financial difficulties, with debts of one billion lei and losses of 1.1 billion lei last year. The company is under scrutiny due to the environmental impact of coal energy and is required to close lignite plants by 2030 as per an agreement with the European Commission. Popescu's political ties raise concerns about the intersection of politics and academia in Romania.
