The PNL will follow the protocol of the formation of the current ruling coalition, which foresees a change of prime minister and several ministerial portfolios next May, and “the PSD should not waste its energy on any statement from a colleague from the PNL”, says the acting of the President of the Senate Alina Gorghiu. We remind you that the leader of the PNL of Iasi, MP Alexandru Muraru, said a day ago that there may not be a second round of prime ministerial elections in 2023, and the PSD may accept that Nicolae Chuke remains prime minister.

• “This is a statement from one of my colleagues, but you must know that the PNL is a very serious party and when we accepted this coalition, we did so knowing the course we were committed to.
• In addition, there is also the legal form that the protocol provided, namely that at the end of May next year there will be this change of prime minister and some portfolios will also be changed between the PNL and the PSD. PNL is a serious party that absolutely respects any commitment, especially since we are talking about a commitment that gave Romania stability in a moment of crisis, in a very difficult moment.
• I do not want to comment on the statement of any colleague, this is the official position of the PNL – we will respect the protocol, we will respect the commitments that this coalition has made, we are a relevant part, we now have a Prime Minister in the person of Mr. Nicolae Chuke , and there is no problem, let’s play with compliance or not with the protocol,” Gorgiou said on Monday in parliament, according to Agerpres.

When asked if the discontent caused by such a statement could later be used as a starting point for the collapse of the coalition, Alina Gorgiou argued that “hot reaction is not healthy” and the PSD should not waste its energy on any statement about Koleg PNL.

• “I have learned only one thing from this coalition – a heated reaction is not healthy, and I would like to believe that the PSD does not waste its energy reacting to any statement of a colleague from the PNL on such a serious topic.
• What is discussed in the coalition is the letter of the law, the position of the party president is the same, the official public direction of the PNL.
• The tension is inherent, in Romania we don’t have a culture of coalitions, we manage on the fly and learn to function on the fly, but the very clear goal is to ensure stability in a very difficult period.
• I know the world is tired of hearing that there is a war on the border, but it is a reality, we are tired of hearing that it will be a hard winter, but it is a reality that we are going through crisis after crisis. , which the Government is currently doing very well.
• Thus, we, the coalition, mainly the PNL, focus on what we should do and comment on, we will try to comment less on things that divide us or can cause fireworks,” Gorgiou also stated.

On Monday, the PSD responded ironically to the leader of the PNL of Iași, MP Alexander Murar, who said that the famous “rotation” in management established by the PNL and the PSD may not happen again. “Trying to escape from the environment, Mr. Muraru creates smoke detectors in Bucharest,” is PSD’s response, referring to liberal “criminals” from Iasi.

At the same time, the PNL wanted to assure its partners in the government that “rotation is a commitment made by the party when forming a coalition, and the PNL respects its commitments.”
