PNL leader: Tomac's proposed government is controlled by PSD, unlikely to pass vote

Liberal Party leader Gabriel Andronache has voiced strong opposition to the government proposed by designated Prime Minister Eugen Tomac. Andronache, head of the PNL deputies, asserted on Facebook that the proposed cabinet is "infiltrated" and "controlled" by the Social Democratic Party (PSD).

“

The only party that imposed conditions on Eugen Tomac is the PSD, therefore, if it were to pass the vote test, this government would have an extremely clear imprint of the PSD.

Andronache argued that the PSD dictated terms to Tomac, making any potential government heavily influenced by the party. He suggested the government's primary aim would be to shield the PSD from accountability for governance. "The control exercised by the PSD will be the defining characteristic of this government," Andronache wrote, emphasizing the social democrats' influence on the program and ministerial appointments.

“

It is about a government infiltrated by the PSD and controlled by the PSD, with the sole political objective of saving the PSD from the formal responsibility of governing.

Given this assessment, the PNL does not anticipate the government's approval. "We do not believe this government will pass Parliament's vote," Andronache stated. This criticism comes despite Tomac's assertion of his prerogative as designated prime minister to select his team. Tomac previously addressed accusations of having PSD-aligned individuals on his list, stating he understands political sensitivities and will not respond to comments from party leaders. He stressed his freedom to form and promote a government he supports to the parties whose votes he seeks.

We do not believe this government will pass Parliament's vote.
