Romanian Politician Slams President for 'Grave Interference' in Parties

Alexandru Muraru, president of PNL Iași, stated that no Romanian president has ever interfered so severely in a political party as President Nicușor Dan has. Muraru described this as a profoundly undemocratic act, an attempt to impose something while violating democratic standards.

“

No president has allowed themselves until now to have such serious interference in a political party as Nicușor Dan has had.

Muraru accused the president of seeking to weaken political parties by encouraging divisions and member departures from parties like AUR, SOS, and POT. He believes that by fostering disunity, Nicușor Dan aims to achieve his political objectives, calling it a significant mistake that history has shown to be self-defeating.

“

It is, ultimately, a profoundly undemocratic act, that of trying to impose something, violating any democratic standards.

The PNL Iași president also expressed skepticism about the future of any potential new liberal party, predicting its rapid failure, similar to the fate of ALDE. He suggested that the PSD party is also in a position where it cannot offer much, predicting that many of its parliamentarians will not secure spots on party lists in 2028.

“

The more he divides and the more he breaks from political parties, the more Nicușor Dan believes he can achieve his political objectives. It is a very big mistake.

Furthermore, Muraru commented on the potential investiture of a cabinet led by Adrian Veștea. He asserted that PNL, UDMR, and USR possess sufficient votes to pass a no-confidence motion, adding that AUR's potential vote on such a motion is their own affair.

“

This surrogate liberal party, if it is born, will be dead from the start, just as ALDE died.
