PSD Senator Daniel Zamfir declares he will not support Luca Niculescu's government

Senator Daniel Zamfir wrote to RTV that he will not vote for a Luca Niculescu-led cabinet, rejecting any blind support.

In a recent RTV program, PSD senator Daniel Zamfir announced he will not endorse a government headed by Luca Niculescu, emphasizing his opposition to a blind vote. He provided a written statement that simply read “Zamfir senator PSD will not vote for Luca Niculescu,” without the qualifier “blind vote.” Zamfir explained the conversation had focused on alleged DNA pressure to compel a vote in any circumstance.

He requested the moderator to display the written note on camera. USR politician Radu Mihaiu challenged Zamfir’s phrasing, prompting Zamfir to dismiss the criticism, saying he would not take lessons from Mihaiu.

Why it matters

The senator's stance could affect parliamentary support for the proposed Niculescu cabinet.
