Alexandru Muraru to Nicușor Dan: Don't Ask Us to Save the PSD

Alexandru Muraru, a vice-president of Romania's National Liberal Party (PNL) and leader of its Iași branch, has issued a public message to Nicușor Dan ahead of political consultations. Muraru firmly stated that the PNL will not serve as a "lifebuoy" for the Social Democratic Party (PSD), asserting that Romanians are indifferent to the PSD's future, as indicated by recent polls.

“

Do not ask us to save the PSD. Romanians are not interested in the future of the PSD (as seen in the latest polls), and even less so in us. Romanians did not vote for the National Liberal Party to become the lifebuoy of a party that has generated instability, blockages, and distrust for years.

Muraru insisted that the political relationship between the PNL and the PSD has been definitively severed. He rejected any notion that the PNL should be instrumental in rescuing the PSD, a party he accused of generating years of instability, blockages, and distrust. "The National Liberal Party is definitively broken from the PSD," Muraru declared, dismissing any attempts to interfere in the PNL's internal affairs or to revive past alliances.

“

The National Liberal Party is definitively broken from the PSD, no matter how many court decisions are made and no matter how much you try to interfere in the internal life of our party. The future of the liberals is decided by the liberals.

He further criticized the idea of combating extremism alongside the PSD. Muraru argued that such a strategy is a "great error," suggesting that the extremist AUR party is a product of the PSD, having surpassed its progenitor in cynicism and populism. He posited that the PNL and other democratic right-wing formations were the appropriate partners for an honest fight against extremism.

“

If you thought you could combat extremism alongside the PSD, you are greatly mistaken. AUR is the child born from the PSD that has today surpassed its parent and teacher in cynicism, lies, and populism.

Muraru urged Nicușor Dan to consider public opinion polls and to approach the upcoming discussions with the country's political future in mind. He stressed Romania's need for political clarity rather than "backroom deals" or artificial formulas. Muraru concluded by emphasizing that political decisions must prioritize the nation's interests and respect the citizens' vote, rather than attempting to re-establish unpopular alliances.

“

Take a look at the polls to understand the reality we are in. Monday's discussions are about the future, not the past, even if the math is done on the seats in today's Parliament. Romania needs political clarity, not backroom deals, not artificial formulas, and not the reheating of alliances that Romanians no longer want.
