The mayor of Buzău, Constantin Toma, recently resigned from leadership positions within the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and has publicly criticized the appointment of Adrian Veștea as prime minister. Toma alleges the decision, made by President Nicușor Dan, prioritizes the stability of the PSD over national interests. He further claims Veștea’s appointment serves a dual purpose: to undermine the National Liberal Party (PNL) and to bolster the PSD’s position. Toma was previously labeled as a loyalist by PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu. The criticism highlights internal political tensions and raises questions about the motivations behind the nomination. This appointment is viewed by Toma as detrimental to the PNL and strategically advantageous for the PSD.
