AUR leader: Grindeanu will secure government investiture, though majority will be fragile

Petrișor Peiu, leader of the AUR senators, expressed confidence that PSD President Sorin Grindeanu will successfully secure the necessary votes for government investiture. He anticipates a "fragile majority" that will "try to prop its feet on slippery, muddy ground." Peiu believes politicians are "on edge" and "all looking for a way out of this situation," making them amenable to compromises.

He suggested that PNL is counting on "Mr. Bolojan's performance in the opposition or semi-opposition," implying a potential agreement with PSD. Peiu sees PSD as unable to refuse such an opportunity, while UDMR would once again find itself in its preferred "arbiter" role. He dismissed USR's significance if the other three parties agree on a deal concerning "urgent matters or important laws."

Despite AUR's exclusion from the governing formula, Peiu argued the party could play a decisive "arbiter" role in Parliament for important projects. He stated that AUR's isolation does not weaken its position but could instead offer a political advantage. Peiu also highlighted ideological differences between PSD and AUR, which he claimed would have made a joint construction "extremely difficult."

"We do not want to be confused with PSD. We are a different party, and even if many think we are a chick of PSD or a younger brother, we are not," Peiu stated. He clarified AUR's motivation for a no-confidence motion, citing the "economic policy of the Bolojan government" as the primary reason, not superficial aspects like "Bolojan having less hair than other politicians or wearing a blue tie."

PSD-ul, pe de altă parte, nu are cum să refuze o astfel de posibilitate, iar UDMR-ul ajunge iarăși într-o postură în care este arbitru și îi place să joace în această postură.
