Romania's Defense Minister Jonut Mustainu has resigned after it was revealed that he lied about his education on his resume.
He wrote this on Facebook, reports European Truth.
"Today I resigned from the post of national defense minister. I take this step with loyalty and respect for the Romanian army," Mustainu said on Friday, November 28.
He noted that Romania and Europe are under attack from Russia, so national security must be protected at all costs.
"I don't want discussions about my past and the mistakes I made years ago to distract those who are now leading the country from their difficult task," Musteanu said.
Digi24 writes that Musteanu lied on his resume with which he entered politics. According to the agency, he graduated from a private university, which is ranked last in the national rankings, with a degree in diplomatic engineering, and did not receive his diploma until 16 years after he began his studies.
