USR leader fires back at PSD chief over claims of “de-usurping” Romania

USR President Dominic Fritz responded to PSD President Sorin Grindeanu’s remarks about “de-usurping” Romania, defending his party’s reforms.

USR President Dominic Fritz took to Facebook to rebut PSD President Sorin Grindeanu’s claim that his party intends to “de-usurpe” Romania and change the nation’s direction. Fritz interpreted the remark as PSD’s attempt to undo reforms that have allowed ministers to deliver tangible results for citizens rather than indulge in luxury. He cited specific actions, including Diana Buzoianu’s restructuring of Romsilva, cuts to illegal sand mining, and a 250-million-lei allocation for flood defenses.

Fritz also mentioned Radu Miruță’s reduction of ministry heads, Irineu Darău’s preservation of factories and jobs, and Oana Țoiu’s competitive diplomatic recruitment as examples of cutting waste and boosting investment. He concluded that PSD’s rhetoric aims to revert to a previous, less efficient system, while USR will continue its current agenda.

Why it matters

The exchange highlights a partisan clash over recent government reforms and their impact on public spending and services.
