Adrian Veștea, Romania’s designated Prime Minister, has publicly criticized his own party, the National Liberal Party (PNL), for calling an Extraordinary Congress on Sunday. Veștea expressed concern that the move threatens freedom and democratic debate within the PNL. His reaction came during and after a Friday online meeting of the PNL’s National Council, attended by around 700 party members. The reason for the emergency congress remains unclear, but Veștea’s statement suggests internal disagreement regarding the party’s direction. He stated he believed, after 30 years involved with the PNL, he had seen many things, implying this decision is particularly concerning. The situation raises questions about party unity as Veștea attempts to form a government. Further details regarding the congress agenda and potential outcomes are expected following the meeting.
