PSD to convene meeting on Siegfried Mureșan's prime minister nomination
The PSD's National Permanent Bureau will meet to discuss President Nicușor Dan's nomination of Siegfried Mureșan for prime minister and decide its parliamentary stance.
The Social Democratic Party's National Permanent Bureau has been summoned by President Sorin Grindeanu to evaluate President Nicușor Dan's proposal to appoint Siegfried Mureșan as Romania's prime minister. Grindeanu voiced surprise and disappointment, arguing the choice conflicts with the country's legitimate interests and citing Mureșan's recent criticism of Romania in Brussels. The bureau will decide the party's position on supporting the government's investiture in parliament.
Mureșan has stated he will begin with votes from PNL, USR and UDMR, and will later negotiate with minority groups and the PSD. The outcome will shape the PSD's alignment either with a pro-European cabinet or a partnership with AUR.
Why it matters
The PSD's decision will influence the formation and stability of Romania's next government.
