Interim PM Siegfried Mureșan refuses to resign despite PSD leader's demand
Siegfried Mureșan announced he will not hand in his interim premiership mandate after PSD president Sorin Grindeanu repeatedly asked him to step down, and said a parliamentary vote will decide the matter.
Mureșan posted on social media that he will not submit his mandate despite daily requests from PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu, who wants him to resign so President Nicușor Dan can name a new candidate. He pledged to present his vision for Romania and confirmed that the Romanian Parliament will vote. Mureșan relies on 169 votes from a coalition of PNL, USR and UDMR, far short of the 233 needed for a majority.
Why it matters
The refusal to resign keeps one outlet interim government in place, affecting Romania's political stability and upcoming parliamentary decisions.
