AUR party leader George Simion claims a presidential advisor contacted him on the evening of the parliamentary vote for the Veștea government, urging AUR to vote in favor. Simion stated the advisor suggested it “would be good” if AUR supported the nomination. The Presidency has responded, denying that President Nicusor Dan instructed any advisor to negotiate with AUR regarding the vote. This denial follows Simion’s public accusation, which sparked calls for clarification from a member of parliament requesting “mandatory explanations.” The situation raises questions about potential government formation tactics and presidential involvement. Further details regarding the alleged phone call and the Presidency’s response are expected to emerge. The Veștea government’s approval ultimately hinged on securing sufficient parliamentary support.
