Behind closed doors in Vila lac, Prime Minister Nicolae Chuke asked the Liberals to “change their perspective” and stop thinking “about the ministries with the most money”. The Prime Minister’s consolation comes in the context that the leadership of the PNL and the PSD are to approve on Tuesday in separate meetings the change of the protocol and the distribution of portfolios in the future government.

“What do we want to do? Do we enter the state project as the most consistent party that made the most difficult decisions in the history of Romania, or are we guided to take the ministries with the most money? Are we going in as a team or not?” Nicoale Cuke told the leaders of the organizations gathered for a meeting at Willi Luck, away from the eyes of the media, according to HotNews.ro sources.

Prime Minister Chuke suggested that the Liberals “change their point of view a little” on government rotation. “Let’s think first of all about the public, the citizens of Romania and their expectations, and only then about our advantages as a party. I assume any mistakes during the reign. But I will never think that I mismanaged. We ran a stable government for a year and a half, avoided a crisis and restored trust with external partners,” Chuke said, according to the sources cited.

The leadership of the PNL met in the evening in an informal meeting with the leaders of the territory at Villa Lac to report on the status of the negotiations with the PSD and how the portfolios were distributed between the PSD-PNL-UDMR.

According to HotNews.ro sources, PNL will take over the Ministry of Finance (Cosmin Marinescu/Alexandra Nazaré), keep European funds and justice, and take over the General Secretariat of the Government (Mircea Abrudian) from PSD.

Nicolae Chuke will also become deputy prime minister and hold the interior portfolio, while Lucian Bode will resign from the party.
