PSD, important decision after internal meeting: Sorin Grindeanu, proposed as prime minister for the future Government

PSD leaders gathered in the National Permanent Bureau have decided to support Sorin Grindeanu for the position of prime minister, according to social-democratic sources. They also decided not to vote for a minority government that PSD is not part of.

The Permanent Bureau of PSD will meet on Wednesday to establish the next steps in forming a new Government and the mandate with which Grindeanu will participate in negotiations with other parties. Negotiations between PSD, PNL, and UDMR are expected to outline a parliamentary majority.

Grindeanu stated that PSD is ready to take on governance, and PNL and UDMR have shown willingness to support a minority government from the opposition.

The President of Romania, Nicușor Dan, emphasized the need to accelerate the process of forming the new government, which could be a minority political government based on a prior parliamentary agreement.
