After the breach of the PMB elections, PSD is analyzing two options: moving into opposition, or consolidating in coalition by removing USR from the executive.

The social democrats have suffered a new electoral defeat, with the PSD candidate, Daniel Băluță, being surpassed by the liberal Ciprian Ciucu and Anca Alexandrescu from AUR, who attracted votes from the traditional PSD electorate. This situation reinforces the belief among PSD leaders that they should enter the Opposition. Dissatisfied with the relationship with USR in the governing Coalition, the social democrats are considering two options: leaving the government or requesting the removal of USR from the Executive. The decision could be made after the budget for 2026 is voted on, expected at the end of January. Marcel Ciolacu emphasized the need for an internal analysis, while Sorin Grindeanu mentioned that PSD won in CJ Buzău and in other small mayoralties, stating that the party continues to lead.
