USR lawmaker Dinel Miruță attacks PSD leader, threatens coalition talks for new government

USR deputy Dinel Miruță publicly criticised PSD figure Lia Olguța Vasilescu on Facebook, warning that his remarks could jeopardise ongoing negotiations for Siegfried Mureșan’s government formation.

USR politician Dinel Miruță used social media to denounce PSD leader Lia Olguța Vasilescu, calling her statements hypocritical after she claimed the PSD should not be held responsible for any setback in forming a government led by Siegfried Mureșan. Miruță replied that the PSD had failed to address Romania’s economic problems and suggested that his criticism could undermine the delicate negotiations required for the governing coalition’s vote.

He also referenced a comment from the mayor of Craiova, framing the dispute as a broader clash over responsibility. Meanwhile, PSD head Sorin Grindeanu scheduled a party meeting to examine Nicușor Dan’s suggestion to name Siegfried Mureșan as prime minister. The exchange highlights tensions between USR and PSD as they navigate the formation of the new cabinet.

Why it matters

The dispute could stall the coalition talks needed to install a new Romanian government.
