Romania’s President Nicușor Dan nominated Adrian Vestea for Prime Minister after the first nominee, Eugen Tomac, withdrew before a parliamentary vote. This second nomination occurred without prior consultations with parliamentary parties, raising constitutional concerns. Legal experts are debating whether the President violated the Constitution by proceeding without these consultations. Digi24.ro consulted former Constitutional Court judges Augustin Zegrean and Tudorel Toader on the matter. Both were asked if the President was obligated to re-initiate consultations with political parties before making a second nomination. Their opinions will likely shape the ongoing debate regarding the legality of Vestea’s nomination and the President’s adherence to constitutional procedures.
