PNL Leader Bolojan Says Party Will Decide Tomorrow on Supporting Niculescu Government

Ilie Bolojan announced that the National Liberal Party will vote on whether to endorse Luca Niculescu’s full-power government at its political bureau meeting on Saturday.

Ilie Bolojan, head of the National Liberal Party (PNL), told Digi24 on Friday that the party is ready to vote for the full investiture of Luca Niculescu’s new government, citing the need to end a prolonged political crisis. He emphasized that the choice is a matter of national responsibility rather than partisan calculation, warning that an interim cabinet hampers basic services and raises borrowing costs. The definitive vote will occur on Saturday when the PNL’s National Political Bureau convenes.

Bolojan’s remarks come two days after party spokesperson Ionel Bogdan affirmed the PNL’s support for Niculescu’s government. He also noted that the party will likely move to opposition after the vote and stressed the importance of respecting budgetary commitments.

Why it matters

The decision will determine whether Romania moves from an interim to a fully empowered government, affecting policy stability and economic financing.
