According to "conspiracy theorists", the appointed Prime Minister Mihai Răzvan Ungureanu was backed for this position just as things are heating up in Syria and Iran.
The tension in the Near East has reached the boiling point and is considered by some as leading to an imminent war.
His foreign connections, his training in Hebrew studies at Oxford, his career as minister of foreign affairs and head of the Romanian Service of Foreign Intelligence, seem to make Mihai Răzvan Ungureanu the right man when it comes to making the decisions needed in such a situation.
