    PSD Reacts to Appointment of Luca Niculescu as Prime Minister

    PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu criticized the appointment of diplomat Luca Niculescu as prime minister, stating that it 'continues to defy parliamentary mathematics.' Grindeanu emphasized that the nomination ignores the weight of the parties in the Legislative and warned that social democrats will not give a 'blank vote' to the new Cabinet without seeing the government program. PSD members expressed surprise and dissatisfaction with the announcement, with some threatening early elections if their conditions are not met. The party is seeking a PSD member to enter government and has set conditions for supporting the Niculescu government, including not continuing the austerity program associated with former prime minister Ilie Bolojan.
