Olguța Vasilescu defends the "pucists" from PNL

Olguța Vasilescu, the PSD mayor of Craiova, defended the PNL members who supported Adrian Veștea, the designated prime minister, stating that their exclusion from the party is abnormal. The criticisms expressed by them should not be punished, and Vasilescu emphasizes that within the PSD there are also critical voices without being sanctioned.

Additionally, PNL is facing an internal conflict, where some members, referred to as 'coupists', are contesting the recent decisions of the leadership, including the vote for the investiture of Veștea. PNL has requested access to the legal files related to these challenges but has encountered difficulties in obtaining transparency in the process. In a statement, PNL expressed its concern regarding how the legal procedures were conducted and emphasized the importance of respecting the right to defense. The party is committed to defending the decisions adopted democratically and to remaining united in the face of internal challenges.
