Claudiu Manda stated that PSD has over 200 votes for forming the new government, while PNL-USR-UDMR would have 150-160 votes.

The general secretary of the PSD, MEP Claudiu Manda, announced that around 150-160 votes are around the PNL-USR-UDMR coalition, while the PSD has over 200 votes. Manda emphasized the possibility of restoring the coalition or forming a minority government around the PSD, needing another 30 votes.

He expressed hope that the UDMR could support a pro-European government led by the PSD, considering the previous collaborative relationships. Manda mentioned that if the UDMR were to join the PSD, they could form a majority of over 233 votes, which would allow them to present a solid proposal to the president. He also highlighted the common visions between the PSD and UDMR, which could facilitate such collaboration.
