Dinu Zamfirescu, a key figure in the post-communist reconstruction of Romania’s National Liberal Party (PNL), has publicly questioned the choices made by Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan regarding recent prime ministerial nominations. In an interview with Hotnews, Zamfirescu criticized Dan’s selections and also pointed to errors committed by the PNL itself. He is considered a descendant of the prominent Brătianu political family, historically influential in Romanian liberalism. Zamfirescu’s critique marks a notable departure from typical PNL messaging, as he is the first leading liberal to publicly raise concerns about the nomination process. The interview also details Zamfirescu’s assessment of past PNL missteps and offers insight into the current political landscape. His comments signal potential internal divisions within the party regarding strategy and leadership.
