Romania’s USR party is experiencing internal division following the President’s nomination for Prime Minister. Vice-President Radu Mihaiu indicated the party is likely to withhold support for the proposed Veștea government if the Social Democratic Party (PSD) is included. A formal decision will be made after a party meeting, highlighting ongoing debate within USR. Conversely, other members advocate for a more measured response and support the President’s initiative. The core disagreement centers on the potential for a coalition with the PSD, a move that appears to be causing significant friction. This internal conflict casts uncertainty over the formation of a new governing majority. The situation remains fluid pending the outcome of the USR party meeting.
