Tomac reacts after submitting mandate: 'I was open to any compromise. I did not find this attitude from all parties.'

Eugen Tomac announced his withdrawal from the mandate to form a government in Romania, citing a lack of necessary political consensus. The decision came after ten days of negotiations, during which Tomac expressed his commitment to finding a compromise. He stated, "I was sincere, honest, and open to any reasonable compromise that would quickly provide the country with a government. I did not find this attitude from all parties, and I regret it."

Tomac thanked those who had agreed to be part of his proposed ministerial list and expressed hope that the subsequent developments would be beneficial for Romania. He extended his best wishes to the newly designated prime minister, Adrian Veștea. The political crisis in Romania stemmed from the inability to form a parliamentary majority to support a new executive.

“

Thank you for the trust placed in me. I set out 10 days ago with the conviction that I could convince the democratic parties to give me their confidence. I was sincere, honest, and open to any reasonable compromise that would quickly provide the country with a government. I did not find this attitude from all parties, and I regret it.

Previously, Tomac had presented a governance program prioritizing administrative-territorial reform. However, the document never reached a parliamentary vote due to insufficient political backing. President Klaus Iohannis's designation of Adrian Veștea aims to unblock the political situation following Tomac's withdrawal.

“

I thank those who accepted to be part of the list of ministers I proposed. I regret that I could not convince them, but I hope that what follows is what is good for Romania. I wish the designated prime minister much success!
