Former Romanian Liberal Party (PNL) President Crin Antonescu has launched a fierce verbal attack on the party’s new leadership following their election at a recent congress. In a Facebook post titled “Congress of Traitors,” Antonescu accused the new leaders of betrayal, employing strong language and personal invective against former colleagues. He alleges multiple instances of betrayal occurred during Sunday’s PNL congress, though specific details remain limited to his initial post. The post signals a significant internal rift within the PNL, highlighting dissatisfaction with the outcome of the leadership contest. Antonescu’s criticism centers on what he perceives as a departure from the party’s core values and principles. This public condemnation is expected to further exacerbate tensions within the liberal party as it navigates its future direction. The full extent of the fallout remains to be seen.
