A leading figure within Romania’s Liberal party has publicly expressed support for Adrian Veștea as a potential prime minister, breaking ranks with other party leaders. Vice-President Alexandru Popa stated Veștea is a “good option” and opposes any disciplinary action for accepting the presidential nomination. This endorsement follows criticism from other prominent Liberals, including Bolojan and Ciucu, who have labelled the President’s move as an “act of aggression” due to a lack of prior consultation. Popa, however, dismissed the suggestion that Veștea’s acceptance constitutes betrayal. The situation highlights a growing internal rift within the party regarding the presidential selection process and the future leadership. The reasons behind the President’s decision remain unclear, according to Popa. This public disagreement underscores tensions within the Liberal party as it navigates potential government formation.
