The leader of the Power of Unity Party (POT), Anamaria Gavrilă, faces accusations from three senators of conducting unauthorized negotiations with Adrian Veștea, the designated Prime Minister. Senators Valentina Aldea and Robert Ghiță claim Gavrilă discussed potential support for Veștea on their behalf, despite their current status as unaffiliated members. The accusations suggest Gavrilă engaged in “subterranean negotiations” without the consent or knowledge of the senators involved. The POT representatives were elected to Parliament on the party’s list in the 2024 elections but have since become unaffiliated. This dispute raises questions about party unity and transparency in forming a governing coalition. The senators have publicly voiced their discontent with Gavrilă’s actions, creating internal friction within the party.
