Siegfried Mureșan: “I am convinced that, immediately after its formation, the Modernization Pole will reach over 30% in voters’ preferences and will compete on equal terms with AUR”

PNL MEP Siegfried Mureșan estimates that PSD will drop below 20% in the polls and fall to third place after the formation of the Modernization Pole, supported by right-wing parties. The statement was made on Monday, November 9, after the PNL leadership approved opening negotiations for the merger by absorption of the Forța Dreptei party.

Mureșan maintains that the new pole, which is expected to bring together formations in favor of Romania’s modernization, will immediately stand at over 30% in voter preferences upon its establishment. According to him, the main electoral confrontation will be with AUR, the party best positioned in current polls.

The liberal says that a low score for PSD would diminish the party’s ability to attract elected officials and supporters. He advocated for a clear positioning of PNL in favor of reforms, reducing waste, and modern governance.
