Sorin Grindeanu, the leader of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and a key figure in the ongoing government formation process, has accused the liberal opposition of hypocrisy for claiming they will enter opposition while still clinging to their positions. He contrasted this with PSD members, who resigned promptly following political developments. Grindeanu argued that the liberals have not followed through on their stated intentions, as none have resigned from their roles .
Grindeanu also asserted that PSD could secure a parliamentary majority but noted that this majority does not meet the criteria set by President Nicușor Dan for forming a new government. During consultations at Cotroceni, Grindeanu reportedly informed Dan that PSD’s potential majority exists but does not align with the president’s requirements .
In a separate statement, Grindeanu criticized Ilie Bolojan, suggesting he is campaigning for the presidency and dismissing him as a "political zombie." This remark followed a poll placing PSD at 13% in public support, which Grindeanu addressed during discussions at Cotroceni .
Meanwhile, President Nicușor Dan has continued consultations with parliamentary parties to identify a viable majority for a new government. After meeting with USR representatives, Dan announced a new round of negotiations, urging parties to reach a consensus "within a reasonable timeframe" .
