Nicușor Dan will appoint the heads of the services “when there is a majority in Parliament”

President Nicușor Dan stated on Tuesday, at Cotroceni Palace, that he will appoint the heads of the intelligence services only once there is a parliamentary majority to support these appointments.

“When there is a parliamentary majority to support this,” the head of state said, emphasizing that, at this time, the priority was to establish a parliamentary majority capable of investing the Government.

“For the moment, I am glad that there was a parliamentary majority to invest a Government,” Nicușor Dan added.

The statement clarifies the president’s position regarding the timetable for the appointments: they are conditional on the existence of explicit parliamentary support. In the absence of such a majority, the heads of the intelligence services will not be appointed, according to the president’s statements.

Appointing the leadership of the intelligence services requires obtaining the necessary political support in Parliament. Nicușor Dan did not specify which political formations would make up the majority, nor when this condition might be fulfilled.
