About Sever Voinescu
- Sever Voinescu (Romanian pronunciation: ['sever voj'nesku], full last name Voinescu-Cotoi; born June 19, 1969) is a Romanian journalist, political analyst, diplomat and right-wing politician.
- A Foreign Affairs Ministry figure during the mid-1990s, he was later a Consul General of Romania in Chicago, United States.
- Voinescu became known as a columnist for Dilema Veche weekly and Cotidianul daily, and worked for the Institute for Public Policies, a political think tank.
- As pundit, Voinescu supports conservative ideas, and criticizes left-wing and welfare state solutions as applied to his country. Often described as a member of the intellectual faction close to President Traian Basescu, Voinescu was characterized by political opponents as a person lacking in independence, a verdict which, in 2007, cost him advancement in the diplomatic service.
- He subsequently joined the Democratic Liberal Party (PDL), running in the 2008 legislative election and earning a deputy seat for Ploiesti.
- From April 2009 to February 2011, he was Secretary of the Deputies' Chamber. During his time in office, Sever Voinescu became known as a supporter of inner-party reform and pressed for the PDL's transformation into a conservative group, although he is still noted for taking sides against stronger critics of the party line.
- He also regularly spoke out against media opponents of Basescu and the PDL, accusing part of the press of being politically controlled by the opposition parties.
- Voinescu was subsequently involved in several political controversies, including claims that he has used his Chamber position to push for electoral fraud.
