Social Democrat leader Sorin Grindeanu has stated initial steps toward forming a new Romanian government are underway. This follows a rejection from the USR party of a solely PSD-led administration. Grindeanu criticized the USR, accusing them of “moral exhibitionism” and prioritizing political positions over national governance. He alleges the USR is employing shifting stances and justifications to obstruct a functional government. Grindeanu contends this behavior demonstrates a reluctance to relinquish power and privileges. He further suggests the USR is hindering the country under the guise of public service, sacrificing progress for maintaining their roles. The comments signal ongoing difficulties in establishing a new ruling coalition in Romania.
