Ioana Ene Doguiu, former spokesperson for the Romanian government, has joined the National Liberal Party (PNL) as a communications employee. She will oversee the party’s macro‑level communication and the messaging of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, but she is not a party member. Doguiu was appointed spokesperson for the Executive in early July 2025 by Bolojan. She remained in that role until the cabinet led by Luca Niculescu was sworn in, at which point her mandate ended. In an interview with Gândul, she clarified that her position is contractual: “I am not a party member, I am an employee of the PNL with a work contract. I supervise the party’s communication at a macro level and the communication of Mr. Bolojan,” she said. When asked whether she was considering a political career after leaving the government, Doguiu declined. “I will not enter politics. Secondly, my mandate will end when the decision signed by Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan is published in the Official Gazette. If you read the text carefully, it is not a resignation; it is a request for revocation of my position at the same time the current government ends. At the moment, I am still in office and I am not entering politics,” she explained. Doguiu’s background spans more than three decades in journalism. She was a senior editor at Spotmedia.ro and has worked in radio, television and print. Her career has included roles from news editor to general editor of a TV newsroom, as well as producing political interviews and in‑depth analysis. She is known for her clear and assertive opinions. One of the highlights of her career was her involvement in the Săcărin case, a public campaign she undertook with an adopted family to protect a Romanian girl from an unjust decision by the system. She has described that effort as a defining moment that shaped her professional life.
