Political subjects in the last week

PSD: The party generated controversy through the actions of leaders Sorin Grindeanu and Claudiu Manda to register their names as trademarks at OSIM. Additionally, PSD rejected the proposal of Delia Velculescu as a technocrat prime minister, with Lia Olguța Vasilescu clearly expressing the party's negative position. Another negative point is the self-suspension of county councilor Daniel Learciu from PSD following his involvement in a corruption case alongside prosecutors Teodor Niță and Gigi Ștefan. PSD accused Ilie Bolojan of appointing Mihai Savin to lead the Romanian Customs Authority, after his retention by DNA. Furthermore, PSD was criticized by USR and PNL for the vote, alongside AUR and SOS, in the Human Rights Commission for favorably approving a project aimed at repealing anti-fascist, anti-legionary legislation and combating anti-Semitism.

PNL: The party had a more balanced presence, being involved in discussions for forming a new government after the dismissal of Ilie Bolojan. Emil Boc stated that PNL will not support a technocrat or political government that includes Nicușor Dan. PNL vehemently criticized PSD's vote alongside AUR for the repeal of anti-fascist legislation, through the voice of Alexandru Muraru.

USR: The party also criticized PSD's vote alongside AUR and SOS for the repeal of anti-fascist legislation, considering it an "illiberal act". On the other hand, USR was involved in the Government's initiative to compel RA-APPS to publish the complete list of properties it manages and the beneficiaries, a transparency measure supported by Dan Reșitnec.

AUR: The party requested explanations from the Bolojan Government regarding meetings with representatives of the German group Schwarz and the promotion of Schwarz Digits services. Additionally, AUR initiated and supported the bill that requires NGOs to declare their donors, a project adopted by the Senate with the support of PSD.

UDMR: President Nicușor Dan held informal meetings with party leaders, including Kelemen Hunor (UDMR), exploring options for a new government. There is discussion about the possibility of a minority PSD-UDMR government and minorities, but also about restoring the previous coalition. Kelemen Hunor emphasized the need for a prime minister accepted by all parties. The party is in a central position in negotiations for forming the new government, being mentioned in almost all coalition scenarios, either as part of a restoration of the old majority or as a partner in a minority government with PSD.
