Adevărul highlights the critical role President Nicușor Dan is playing as a mediator in Romania's current political landscape. His renewed consultations with leaders of pro-European parties underscore the government's determination to maintain stability and focus on essential national projects like the SAFE program and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). These discussions are taking place against the backdrop of a significant political crisis following the withdrawal of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) from the governing coalition. President Dan's commitment to a 'technical and applied discussion' aims to navigate these turbulent political waters, ensuring that Romania's pro-Western trajectory remains unwavering. He has publicly assured citizens that state institutions are functioning and that there is no question about the country's European orientation. The participation of major political forces, including the PSD, National Liberal Party (PNL), Save Romania Union (USR), and the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR), along with the parliamentary group of national minorities, signifies a broad consensus on the need to move forward with these crucial development plans. This effort to bridge political divides and maintain focus on strategic objectives is paramount for Romania's continued integration and development within the European framework.

I will continue to exercise my role as mediator. As such, I have invited the leaders of the four pro-European political parties and the leader of the parliamentary group of national minorities to a technical and applied discussion about major programs for Romania, such as SAFE and PNRR.
