Valeriu Iftime, president of Botoșani County Council and a leader within Romania’s National Liberal Party (PNL), has publicly accused Ilie Bolojan of attempting to fracture the party. Iftime alleges that proposed changes to the party’s statutes are designed to consolidate power in the hands of the party president, Bolojan. He described the proposed modifications as “radical” in an interview with Digi24. The accusations center on a perceived effort to grant the party president unlimited powers. This internal dispute raises concerns about the future stability and direction of the PNL. Iftime’s statements suggest a significant rift within the party’s leadership regarding its organizational structure and power dynamics. The proposed changes and the resulting controversy could potentially lead to a formal split within the PNL.
