Romanian Liberals to Back Niculescu Cabinet Without Joining Government
PNL will vote for Niculescu's investiture while remaining in opposition, party leader Ilie Bolojan says.
KEY POINTS
- PNL supports Niculescu's investiture but remains in opposition
- No PNL ministers will join the Niculescu Cabinet
- Support is conditional on EU funds, PNRR, SAFE, deficit, and reforms
- No censure motions for six months if principles are respected
- PNL National Political Bureau to decide on Saturday
PNL will support the investiture of Prime Minister-designate Luca Niculescu but will not join the government or take ministerial posts.
The party says its conditional vote aims to end prolonged political uncertainty and ensure a fully empowered administration.
“PNL does not govern with PSD. We ask for no offices and negotiate no ministries.”
Support depends on respecting EU funds, the PNRR, SAFE, deficit targets, and necessary reforms, according to MP Mircea Fechet.
PNL will not initiate or vote for any censure motion in the first six months if these principles are upheld.
Bolojan will propose the investiture vote at Saturday's National Political Bureau meeting, emphasizing that PNL will enter opposition.
The vote is framed as a matter of national responsibility rather than a political guarantee or endorsement of the cabinet's composition.
