Former candidate urges Romanian lawmakers to reject Veștea's government, calling it 'treason'

Former presidential candidate Călin Georgescu has issued a strong appeal to Romanian parliamentarians, urging them to reject the investiture of Adrian Veștea's government. Georgescu, who considers Veștea's cabinet the product of an "illegitimate president," declared that supporting the government would constitute "an act of betrayal of Romania's interests." He explicitly referred to the proposed administration, informally known as 'Bolojan 3,' not as a political option but as a "shameful and treacherous moral capitulation."

The Romanian parliamentarians must understand today that every vote given to the government of an illegitimate president is an act of betrayal of Romania's interests.

These declarations emerge amid ongoing negotiations for the formation of a new executive. Political sources indicate that the Social Democratic Party (PSD) has agreed to join the government, potentially securing nine ministerial portfolios and the position of Secretary-General of the Government. Prime Minister-designate Adrian Veștea is expected to formally present his list of ministers and governing program to Parliament in the coming days to seek a vote of confidence. Veștea mentioned that the government program, spanning 68 pages, outlines the cabinet's priorities and is scheduled for a parliamentary vote on Monday at 11 a.m.

The proposed government, 'Bolojan 3,' is not a political option, let's be clear. It is a shameful and treacherous moral capitulation.

Meanwhile, Georgescu remains involved in a legal case before the High Court of Cassation and Justice, where he is being investigated alongside Horațiu Potra. The Supreme Court recently postponed a decision on the legality of the indictment prepared by the General Prosecutor's Office. The court decided to reopen the case for new debates due to a judge's recusal request and set the next hearing for June 29, 2026. The case is currently in the preliminary chamber stage, where judges will determine if the indictment and evidence meet legal standards for trial. Horațiu Potra's pre-trial detention measure was revoked on June 17.

Everything remains for Monday at 11 o'clock.
