Romania’s National Liberal Party (PNL) is holding a National Council meeting today to finalize details for an extraordinary congress scheduled for June 21st. The meeting occurs amid legal challenges to disciplinary decisions targeting supporters of interim Prime Minister Adrian Veştea, and a DNA investigation involving Ciprian Ciucu, a key ally of Veştea. Veştea, who faces potential expulsion from the party, has announced his intention to challenge acting party leader Ilie Bolojan for the leadership position. He has requested the congress be postponed until June 28th. The internal conflict stems from a power struggle within the PNL, with Veştea and Ciucu representing a faction supporting the current government. The outcome of the congress will likely determine the party’s future direction and leadership. The meeting will be held online.
