According to his own admission, Stoenescu collaborated with the Securitate in 1984, while he worked as an engineer at a factory in Băneasa. After the Romanian Revolution, he worked as a journalist and then as chief of the Press Department of the National Defense Ministry. In 1998, president Emil Constantinescu intended to name him spokesman of the presidency, until he learnt about his collaboration with the Securitate.
Stoenescu was a vicepresident of Uniunea Forţelor de Dreapta, resigning from it in 2000, following the unsatisfactory results in the local elections, joining the National Liberal Party in August 2000.
In 2006, Stoenescu joined the New Generation – Christian Democratic Party, being chosen vice-president in charge with its doctrine. He was also part of the team of historians whom Gigi Becali commissioned to write the "true history of Romania".
