Life
[edit]In 1995 she graduated from the "Sabin Dragoi" Pedagogical High School in Brad, and afterward worked part-time as a teacher at the "Horea, Cloșca and Crișan" General School which is also located in Brad until 2004.[1] Natalia-Elena Intotero studied English language at the West University of Timișoara then studied international relations at the University of Bucharest.[2]
She became the director of the Horea school form 2008 to 2009 after her studies.[1] In March 2009, she became secretary of state in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[3] After being secretary, she returned to education as deputy director of the "Avram Iancu" National College until 2011.[1] In 2012 she was briefly again Secretary of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs until she became deputy.[1]
She was a member of the Parliament of Romania following the 2012 Romanian parliamentary election and the 2016 Romanian parliamentary election.[2] She is deputy of the Commission for Foreign Policy since December 2012 and vice-president of the PSD Parliamentary Group.[2][3]
Between January 2018 and April 2019, she was secretary of state for the Romanians living abroad.[3][4][5] In 2020 she was proposed for a new mandate as deputy for Hunedoara County, which she successfully won, and soon after she became chairman of the Education Committee in December 2020.[6] During the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, she advocated for schools to stay open, saying that classes were closed because of the incapacity of the people who had lead the educational system.[7]
