A faction within Romania’s National Liberal Party (PNL), aligned with party president Ilie Bolojan, has accused President Nicușor Dan of attempting to destabilize the PNL. The dispute stems from Dan’s decision to nominate Adrian Veștea as the new prime minister without consulting party leadership. Bolojan’s allies claim the move is a deliberate effort to fracture the PNL, describing it as a “palace fight” and a direct confrontation. They assert the President has unequivocally taken a stance against them. Veștea represents the second prime ministerial nomination made by the President. This unexpected nomination has created internal tensions and raises questions about the future stability of the ruling party. The situation highlights a power struggle between the presidential office and key figures within the PNL.
