Members of the National Liberal Party (PNL) who previously belonged to the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) will boycott the PNL’s extraordinary congress scheduled for June 21st. The boycott is led by former ALDE President Varujan Vosganian, who alleges a breach of the agreement made during the merger of the two parties. Vosganian sharply criticized PNL leader Ilie Bolojan, comparing his actions to those of Vladimir Lenin and accusing him of disregarding the initial terms of the political alliance. The dispute centers around concerns that the PNL is not upholding commitments made to former ALDE members following the unification. This boycott signals internal divisions within the PNL and raises questions about the stability of the party’s leadership. The congress was intended to consolidate the PNL’s position ahead of upcoming elections. Vosganian’s public rebuke represents a significant challenge to Bolojan’s authority.
