PNL Senate leader Daniel Fenechiu rejected on Wednesday the idea of replacing Mircea Abrudean as president of the Senate, calling it “absurd.” Fenechiu said that no one had claimed the position and that there were currently no institutional reasons to replace the Liberal, even though the PNL is in opposition.

The senator described Abrudean as one of the best presidents of the Senate, praising his balance, stature and ability to engage in dialogue with all political parties. He stressed that Abrudean was not politically appointed, but elected by senators on the basis of a political agreement that has not been repudiated.

Asked whether the PSD might ask for his resignation, Fenechiu said he did not expect such a move. He referred to the context of a minority government and the need to cooperate with the PNL, saying that Abrudean is “part of the solution” and a non-confrontational president.

Mircea Abrudean has led the Senate since June 2025, when he was elected with the support of the PSD-PNL-USR-UDMR coalition. Previously, he served as interim president between February and May 2025, after Ilie Bolojan became Romania’s interim president.

Context: În criza politică, Abrudean a împins pentru numirea rapidă a unui premier și a condiționat susținerea de reforme și de jaloanele PNRR

Anterior, președintele Senatului Mircea Abrudean a cerut ca desemnarea unui premier să aibă loc chiar în aceeași zi, argumentând că România nu mai poate prelungi interimatul. În discuțiile de la Palatul Cotroceni, PNL a prezentat două variante de deblocare: desemnarea europarlamentarului Siegfried Mureșan și formarea unui guvern cu USR și UDMR, sau constituirea unui guvern tehnocrat cu mandat limitat, pentru continuarea reformelor.

În același timp, Abrudean a afirmat că PNL nu va susține un guvern în care intră PSD, indiferent de cine ar fi premierul, susținând că liberalii sunt pregătiți să treacă în opoziție dacă nu se respectă această linie. El a legat și pozițiile politice de miză financiară: a avertizat că România riscă să piardă aproape 800 de milioane de euro din PNRR dacă PSD continuă „sabotearea” Legii ANI, pe care el a anunțat apoi că a redepus-o după respingerea anterioară, cerând evitarea amendamentelor considerate neconstituționale.

Totodată, Abrudean a spus că PSD trebuie să își asume responsabilitatea dacă modificările aduse unor proiecte de lege în sesiunea extraordinară ar duce la penalizări sau la pierderea fondurilor europene, invocând inclusiv impactul asupra jalonelor PNRR și al decarbonizării din sectorul energetic.
