Ilfov County Council President Hubert Thuma announced his expulsion from the National Liberal Party (PNL) on Tuesday evening. Thuma sharply criticized party leader Ilie Bolojan, accusing him of benefiting from patronage—specifically, “living off sinecures”—that he now condemns. The ousted official stated he will pursue all available legal avenues to challenge the decision and prevent what he terms a “purge.” Details surrounding the expulsion remain limited, but Thuma’s statement suggests a significant internal conflict within the PNL. The accusations of hypocrisy leveled against Bolojan are likely to fuel further debate within the party. This development could potentially impact the political landscape of Ilfov County and the PNL’s broader standing.
