The president of USR, Dominic Fritz, before the consultations at the Cotroceni Palace: "We need a brave government. If it is not possible to form a majority for this, maybe it's time to let the Romanians decide."

USR leader Dominic Fritz states, before a new round of consultations at Cotroceni, regarding the appointment of the prime minister, that Romania needs a brave government "that delivers for Romanians," not one that protects the privileged under the umbrella of stability.

"USR is not a party, says a leader of a so-called sovereignist party, but a disease, a virus. The idea of removing USR from the government, says the PSD general secretary, was celebrated in PSD meetings with "applause and joy as when Romania was left empty at the World Cup. We need a brave government that delivers for Romanians, not one that protects the privileged under the umbrella of stability. If it is not possible to form a majority for this, maybe it is time to let Romanians decide. We will then see what remains of the applause from the PSD supporters," wrote Dominic Fritz on Facebook.
