  • PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu called for an urgent full-power government after national statistics showed sales fell by nearly 6% in the first seven months of the year.
  • He said declining consumption and rising pressure on households and businesses should take priority over negotiations among parties seeking a parliamentary majority.
  • Grindeanu said the PSD is ready to build a majority and will discuss economic measures with social partners while political talks continue.

Sorin Grindeanu says Romania cannot afford to wait while parties calculate how to form a parliamentary majority. The PSD leader argues that falling consumption demands an urgent government with full powers.

Romanians are buying less and less, and they have even cut items from their food lists. They look twice before putting something in the basket.

· Sorin GrindeanuHe cited falling sales and said Romanian families were cutting back on spending.

Grindeanu cited data from Romania’s National Institute of Statistics showing that sales dropped by nearly 6% during the first seven months of the year. “Romanians are buying less and less, and they have even cut items from their food lists. They look twice before putting something in the basket,” he said. He added that families were giving up expenses they had previously been able to afford.

In a public message, Grindeanu said the political class should focus on the economic and social crisis rather than on how many votes individual parties lack. Romania, he said, had already lost four months to an interim government and negotiations among parliamentary parties.

We should be discussing this economic and social crisis today, not how many votes one or another person is short of, but how much longer Romania can afford to lose.

· Sorin GrindeanuHe argued that political negotiations were distracting from the country’s economic problems.

“The economy will not wait for parties to finish their calculations. Every day without a full-power government means more pressure on people, companies and an economy that urgently needs direction and solutions, not just cuts,” Grindeanu said.

He said the PSD was ready to help build a parliamentary majority and had the experience needed to return to government. He also criticized disputes with the PNL and USR over whether the PSD had the 233 votes required to form a government. Until political dialogue resumes, he said, the party would focus on talks with social partners about measures to address the economic difficulties.
