Ilie Bolojan to Present New PNL Leadership Team, Statute Changes at Congress

Ilie Bolojan is preparing to unveil a new leadership team at the upcoming National Liberal Party (PNL) Congress, with Ciprian Ciucu reportedly being considered for the role of first vice-president. The deadline for submitting candidacies for the PNL leadership is Saturday at 5:00 PM, and Bolojan's list is reportedly ready.

Sources indicate that Dan Motreanu is slated to be proposed as the party's general secretary. For the vice-president positions, Bolojan's list is expected to include Oana Gheorghiu, Dragoș Pîslaru, Mircea Abrudean, Robert Sighiartău, Alexandru Muraru, and Ionel Bogdan. Discussions are also ongoing regarding Raluca Turcan and Florin Roman for potential roles.

The congress, scheduled for Sunday, will also address modifications to the PNL's statute. Key proposed changes include the dissolution of the Executive Bureau, reducing the number of first vice-presidents from four to one, and establishing a National Litigation Commission to handle disputes arising from sanctions against party members. The National Extraordinary Council has already approved these statute amendments with a significant majority.

These reforms aim to create a National Permanent Bureau as the central leadership structure, replacing the previously deemed dysfunctional Executive Bureau. The party also plans to revert to a motion-based system for electing leadership and to clarify procedures for sanctioning members. Approximately 2,500 delegates are expected to attend the Extraordinary Congress.
