The Diplomat
George Bologan, Romania’s new ambassador to Spain, arrived in Madrid last Wednesday to take charge of the diplomatic representation, replacing Gabriela Dancau, who was appointed ambassador of her country in Rome.
Bologan was until now the Romanian ambassador to Italy, a country where he has lived since 1995, working in a variety of jobs. Between 1995 and 2003 he was a journalist accredited to the Holy See Press Office for the television channel Telepace.
He then moved on to diplomatic work, first as cultural attaché and head of the Romanian community at the Romanian Embassy in Rome, and then as consul general in Milan, before being appointed ambassador to the Italian capital.
The new Ambassador is 47 years old and holds a degree in Communication Sciences from the Libera Maria Santissima Assunta University in Rome. He also holds a Master’s degree in Public Administration and in 2000 he obtained a degree from the Pontifical Gregorian, Oriental and Urban University in Rome.
On his Twitter account, after his arrival in Madrid, he wrote: “Hello Spain! I begin a new chapter in difficult times for Europe, but full of hope. Delighted to be in the land of Santiago, El Greco, Velázquez, Goya, Cervantes, Unamuno, Lorca and many other great Spanish benefactors of humanity”.
