PSD faces political collapse if Siegfried Mureșan's cabinet fails parliamentary approval

The commentary outlines the dire consequences for Romania if President Nicușor Dan's proposed premier, Siegfried Mureșan, cannot obtain parliamentary backing. It stresses that a lack of a legitimate government would halt essential budget reforms, potentially prompting Standard & Poor’s to reclassify Romania as "junk" debt. The author places responsibility on PSD for blocking a viable cabinet, noting previous attempts by former premier Bolojan to curb deficits were thwarted by the same party.

Two constitutional options are presented: calling early elections after 60 days of deadlock, or installing Dacian Grindeanu as prime minister, a move that would likely require concessions to AUR. Both scenarios risk further EU funding cuts and could push Romania toward an IMF bailout similar to the 2010 crisis.
