Victor Negrescu, first deputy president of Romania’s Social Democratic Party (PSD), stated the country currently needs a "European sovereignty." He made the remarks during a Digi24 interview when questioned about a possible shift toward sovereignism within the PSD. Negrescu clarified that while differing opinions exist within the party regarding this matter, his colleagues recognize that outright suveranism is not a viable solution. He framed his position as advocating for Romania strengthening its position within a unified Europe, rather than isolating itself. This perspective aims to balance national interests with the benefits of European integration. The statement signals a potential nuanced approach to sovereignty within the PSD leadership.
